If the call is important and Necessary, how long should a player wait?

I normally offer to ring them back, because it breaks my concentration and is annoying for the person you are playing with.

hello all,

it happends, also on my side.

option 1: i play during phone call. it works sometimes. depends of the game and situation in game.

option 2: if there is no chance to go on with game i try to call back later

option 3: if the phone call is to important i surrender the game. thats the only fair way.

in the end a maximum of 20-30 seconds for trying to get option 1 or 2

also possible: let it ring - most of the time the game is the better choice

greetings
stratego
