Axis and Allies a couple of decades ago came out with expansions. They were just pieces and rules and not full board games like they have now. There was also a larger version of the world map that was vinyl. We used rules from many of the expansion that included WW1 pieces with the WW2 pieces. There was one expansion for WW1 that had optional rules of using other countries and had limits on infantry. We had a note book to keep track of units produced and used all the countries. It was a mess and took like three days (Memorial weekend as it were). We grilled out, had a couple cases of beer and soda. We had movies going as it could be an hour in between turns. There were five of us and it was ridiculously long and fun.

the Out-of-print GDW's Drang Nach Osten/Untentschieden?
A WWII Regt./Brigade/Division level boardgame of the war in Europe along the entire eastern front, from Norway and Finland all the way down to the Caspian Sea.
Turns were measured in days, with 8-10 hours at the table, and games were measured in weeks or months. After playing awhile we could usually determine the outcome of a game after two weeks of play.
The Europa series still rocks. I still see a game played at Origins ever year.
The next longest boardgame was Streets of Stalingrad, produced by Dana Lombardy, and also currently out-of-print although you might be able to score a copy from Last Stand Games. We could get two or three turns in a day with this platoon level recreation of the entire battle of Stalingard.

Once I played a game of Risk 2010 with 10 players. We had two boards connected to each other, as well as two separate moons. It was the most epic game that took about 3 weeks to complete....and even then, it wasn't played out to completion. When there were 2 players left, each with about half of the territories on the board, the slightly weaker one just gave up.
The biggest problem was getting everybody together at the same time. 5 out of 10 people dropped out before truly "losing" because of that. (In the end though it was for the best, because the other players ran out of pieces by that time)
Risk 2010 without the expansions is still the best Risk imho. And best boardgame overall, although settlers of cataan with full expansions gives it a good run for its money.

Axis and Allies - 5 hrs.
do I get extra points for playing it in a Village Inn?
we bought 4 coffees, a soda and at 2am a cheese sandwich.
They must have really hated us.

Twilight Imperium, eight players, twelve hours. The game usually runs from six to ten hours. I love it.
I've also played an eight-hour session of Trivial Pursuit that just would not end. We were using a British edition from something like 1983, and all the orange questions were about contract bridge, boxing and cricket. The rule we were using was that after filling up your playing piece, you had to get to the middle and answer a single question of a predetermined colour from the next card in the deck. Since the orange questions were the hardest, this was always orange.
I finally won, at two o'clock in the night, after being asked which Welsh pirate had a rum named after him.

We're still waiting to finish that Diplomacy game from 11 years ago. Maybe the guy playing Germany will move back soon....
