I played the Stardew Valley board game with my friends the other day. One of our friends gave it to my husband as a Christmas present and we finally played it together.
The instruction was written in English so I was trying to read it before everyone meets up. Soon I figured out that the instruction was too long, so I gave up reading it by myself. We read the instructions together and tried to understand the rules. It took two hours to finish reading. It was already 5 p.m. We played the game right after finishing reading and finished it after 10 p.m. It was supposed to take 3 hours but it took longer.
Anyway, that game was fun. I recommend playing it if you like the video game :)
p.s. The cat in the picture is my friend's cat and she seems that she wanted to join us.

Here’s a more idiomatic way to let the thoughts in this section flow naturally.
Original words: “We read the instructions together and tried to understand the rules. It took two hours to finish reading. It was already 5 p.m. We played the game right after finishing reading and finished it after 10 p.m. It was supposed to take 3 hours but it took longer.”
Revised version: “We took 2 hours to read the instructions together and trying to understand the rules. It was 5pm once we finally started playing and 10pm once we finished, a far cry from the 3 hours we’d thought it would take.”
This post combines two of my favourite things (Stardew Valley and cats). Thanks for posting, I didn't know there was a board game, so now I'll look that up!

@JGComm
Thank you!!!!! Those kinds of sentences really help me to understand :) And I didn't know the meaning of "a far cry from" so I learned the new idiom too :)
@DieWurstkindofperson
Sounds like we have the same taste of what we like :) I highly recommend it :)
