Strategy tends to be a bit different, jumping out of the gate and voting is more suspicious, things like that. People tend to develop cases more and go on gut less, but that depends on the player. Baddies tend to play a bolder game in speed games since the civs have less time to discuss, and the numbers crunch favors the civs. You see a lot more blendiness in full games, people lying low and seeing what develops. You also see more overanalysis (:whistles:) in full games.

So technically, other than number of players and length of cycles, not really. But, yes, gameplay strategy & tactics tend to be different.

This is just my opinion, obviously.
