Christ Centered Gamer

I've been looking at this game and it looks wicked awesome. I am completely in love with massive 4X space strategy games like Master of Orion and this looks like a pretty good translation into the board game medium. Apparently, this game can even go on for days.

I was wondering if any of you fine fellows have played this before and what were your thoughts?

I've seen it on the shelf of my FLGS, but I've never looked at it. Board games are hard to get my friends into, and my wife. If I were to really push a board game, I'm most interested in Arkham Horror.

It's definitely hard to find people willing to give board games a real chance, but you can see it take off with them once they do. It's such visceral social gaming.

One of my worries if I get is that people will not be willing to put in the time investments. Everybody seems to shun Risk and Monopoly because of time, but this would make Risk look like a sprint game.

And yes, Arkham Horror looks pretty sweet.
