How long do strategy board games typically take to play?

Reviewer consensus

Most modern strategy games run 30 minutes to 2 hours. Azul, Splendor, Cascadia and Targi land in the 30–45 minute range. Wingspan averages around 60–70 minutes. Terraforming Mars, especially with expansions, regularly stretches to 90–120 minutes or longer at higher player counts, a complaint that comes up frequently in r/boardgames threads.
