1. Pre-build the map without choosing sides. As long as you don't know which site you'll play, there is not much advantage to be gained from choosing the chambers or the doors. Just build a map that seems funny to you.;)2. Distribute the characters randomly. No choosing: you have to play with what you get. Take care however that you have two player norad, two player salemite.
2. Prepare four stacks of equipment randomly, but sorted: 2 piles for Norad equipment, 2 piles for Salemite. In the choosing equipment phase: every player chooses a pile, turns it to the right side, choose an equipment en pass the pile to the next player. Until everybody has one equipment per character.
3. Distribute the missions randomly.
4. Prepare also the right setup: CP are distributed, order tokens are ready distributed, ...
5. Normally a SAGS game takes 6 turns. Just play five.
6. If the players like to stall: put a timer in play. You can think for max 1 minute (or less) and then your move has to start.
This way, your play will last for two hours to three hours (and half hour preparation time from you).
