The longest turn you've ever played?

I've been wondering what the longest turn ever played was after I decided to toy around with KC combinations through some solitaire games. Here is the longest 2 turns I churned out.

Turn 26 and 27. I find it hilarious that I end the game on 4 piles, and yet the provinces are still at 1 going "Lonely.... oh so lonely....." =p

what are some of the longest turns you've ever played?

By time, I bet the longest turns are those from a Hamlet-Library engine. Those take for-f$!@%g- ever. It takes five clicks to play a single hamlet and discard two cards to it, you run into completely pointless AP when deciding whether to keep a Hamlet that your Library draws.

Kings Court plus any attack that involves interaction with all players... "Uhh you are waiting for me? again?"

Oh god, I was playing with 3 of my irl friends on isotropic, and made the terrible choice of making a torturer/village engine. It took probably 1 minute each time for each person to realize it was their turn. Every single turn I played took like 5 - 10 minutes. It was terrible. I'm never doing that again.

Just played a quick solitaire game with "long turn" as the main objective:

Could be longer if I chose some better cards, but... meh.

Turn 23 (and 24) here. Outpost essentially doubles the turn length:

Its log is 682 lines long!

Aaaaaaand I've just realized that, in an Isotropic solitaire game, Possession can both stack and loop.
i.e., KC>KC>Possess>Possess>Possess is an automatic 9 turns (which count as one turn), during which Possession can be played to repeat the cycle.
Therefore, there is no theoretical upper bound on game length.
