Board Game Night Duration Calculator: Plan the Whole Evening

Game nights always run longer than expected once you factor in setup, rules explanations, and breaks between games. This calculator estimates the total runtime so you can plan around it realistically.

The Formula

Total Duration = (Games × Average Time per Game) + Break Time

Worked Example

4 games planned, averaging 45 minutes each, with 30 minutes of breaks and setup.

Total = (4 × 45) + 30 = 210 minutes = 3h 30m

2. Enter the average time per game in minutes.
