Not including learning the rules, how long does it take to play one game?

Depends on how many people you are playing with. A 5- or 6-player game will take at least a couple of hours. First few games will probably take double that. I think that even with four players 60-90 minutes is probably optimistic.

What print version is this one? Is it the first print or the second print?

Ordered from Leder Games and received a First Printing, Ninth Printing, 2022. Anyone receiving a First Edition, First Pressing in 2023 is getting a counterfeit copy of the game...

Why does the release date keep getting pushed back???

Because people are just making up those dates, the actual date is after Christmas. They are hoping you will pay for a pre-order that won't ship until after Christmas.

If it adds in 2 factions and another vagabond doesn't that mean you could play 7 players?

It still only recommends up to six players. I think you’d have all of the component for a seventh but the board might be overly crowded at that point.

Bom demais e chegou no prazo

Chegou em ótimo estado e dentro do prazo. Sobre o jogo, só compre se você sabe no que está se enfiando, não é simples kkkkkk. Valeu a pena demais, já comprei uma expansão, pena que está em português, daí fica diferente do jogo original.
