I'm not sure how that would work, exactly -- even though the game is shorter than regular Civ, it still seems like it'd take a few hours to finish. I don't even have the patience for a full Catan game sometimes. Seems like it'd be fun to try Civ Rev multiplayer, though. And yeah, I can see the single-player being a huge time-sink.

I haven't because there seems to be some bugs in launching and connecting, but I talked to some who did and I believe the demo's turn limit is different in there (they talked about getting pretty far in the tech trees). I too have played this demo multiple times and hope the full game has bigger maps. I am however worried about managing my time with this game when it comes out. Maybe I should turn on some of the 360's parental controls that limit playing hours. I think shorter games are great, but I fear I will just play more because of them. :) Have you been able to play the multiplayer part of the demo?
