However, one of the most successful and popular action game series, Counter-Strike, is based around player elimination.

The elimination in CS is in the region of 2-3 minutes, whereas in any board game I’ve played, it’s been 30+

I played every CS except CS:GO and despite all the changes and the focus on selling clown guns I'm pretty sure it is still a "complete the objective against the clock" game.

Unless it is poolday.

It is very rare to have the clock run down. The time mechanic is there only to limit the round time. Most of the time either team is eliminated, or the bomb goes off/is defused.
