So it seems this is mainly in reference to large commercial building rather than homes (excluding apartments).
Its interesting to read that german property owners don't like to reduce property prices in comparison to other countries when I thought others were pretty against lowering prices as well.
This has happened to me a few times. One I remember was the game Alchemist, where I just sat there confused as hell for 4 and a half hours while three guys were all talking about strategies. Tonight it was Terraforming Mars, where I was told it would be a 3 hour game, but by hour 4 we were halfway done. This time I said "it's...
So the people teaching the game with you should make sure everyone is aware of the game time and expectations, first of all. I love board games, but would be a bit irritated if someone expected me to play Terra Mystica at a moments notice. The only exception that comes to mind is if they're cool with ending it early because I wouldn't be able to play the whole time.
Since your friends don't seem very responsible, you have to do more legwork. I would ask which game is being played, and what the expected game time is. In addition, let them know your time limitations and that you'll have to leave by a specific time whether your finished or not.
This may lead to less invitations ("lets start a game of Twilight Imperium 3 at 830 Pm on a Tuesday night! but lets not invite Meep_Launcher because he'll leave the game early") but at least everyone will be aware of the situation before hand.
Ideally, your friends will work around the person with the most restrictive schedule, "only 2 hours? lets play some love letter, DND Inn fighting game, and Port Royale". If they really want to play Monopoly, you can suggest a better time when you would be interested in playing where you'd have sufficient time to finish the game.

How do you deal with the situation where you are invited to play a game, only to find it's wildly complex and takes 4 hours to finish, and you find yourself not wanting to play it within minute 5? Englisch
