Many of those I play with are hugely busy with their daily lives and work and cannot makes moves within the 24-hour time frame. Can there be an option to extend the 24-hour limit?

7 day turns sound quite reasonable, imo.

Had this on another site I played way back in the day. 48hr games were as common as 24hr ones there. I always thought it was quite a good idea.

I played on another website too, and the opponent in 1v1 had the option to extend the deadline (in speed games, as I best recall), at least in some games (other than Risk). I think that Risk afforded that same option to extend.

A 48hr timer wouldn't be a terrible option to have for private games imho. It would allow people who have less time irl to play games together. I would have loved this option at one point.

I could definitely see the issues arising from public games and "HALP I'm a freemie and bob is holding me hostage by taking the whole 48 hours for his turns." :lol:
