Yeah, analysis paralysis really slows the game. The first time I played was with 3 or 4 players over 12-14 hours, mostly because we didn’t know what we were doing. Then we played again about a year later and the game lasted about 8 hours with 4 people and another time a couple months later, we played a 4 hour game with 5 people.
One thing in that game in particular, would be to give everyone a little notebook so that they can write down what they think about their next turn. Sometimes it crawls so much that you forget what you were going to do by the time of your turn. It definitely helps when you play the game a little more frequently and don’t have to relearn everything.
