Hello there. I just got a copy of a board game called The Campaign for North Africa,the biggest,most complex and the longest to play board game in this world.
It is about the Axis's campaign for North Africa in the World War II and can afford up to 10 players,who play as various powers from Allies and Axis.
Its rules are GIANT and extremely maximally realistic. For an example,Italians must carry more water to cook pasta or their soldiers will be useless in the field. There is so,so much calculation needed in it FOR EVERY SINGLE UNIT.
The predicted playtime is around 1500 hours, altrough if played slowly,a bit each evening, it can take years and years!
Do you want to play it with me?
Please play it with me!
Have a good day!

I'll take a look at the rules. Be ready for me to not respond for a while.

These superlatives are always dubious imo
consider: if you adjust the rules of monopoly so that players aren't eliminated, and whoever accrues some incredibly large amount of money-- say, graham's number-- wins, then that adjusted monopoly will be one of the longest-playing board games if not
the longest.
Or for that matter, one might as well exploit the properties of how certain large numbers are generated: a game where each player takes turns adding tree graphs to their own sequence, such that none of the trees in the sequence are homeomorphically embeddable into later ones, the nth tree has at most n nodes, and there are three different colors of nodes.
(for more advanced play, try four) Whoever runs out of trees to draw last wins.

Yes,but it surely won't have all that much details. Also, I only think about traditional or originally published games.
Have a good day!
