It’s your turn!!! Hurry up!

Great for board games. I downloaded a half dozen different apps looking for one like this. So glad I kept looking - this is exactly it! We like to “count up” instead of set a timer and we add a rule to all our games where the player with the shortest time gets a bonus (10 points) and the longest time pays a penalty (-10). Use with any game, but some lend themselves more easily to timing (Carcassone, Ticket to Ride, Catan, etc...)


So good

Very elegant and simple design. It would be great to have a list of what the overall time was as well, for example time during the game that no one was taking a turn etc. I’m very impressed with this timer though. Thank you!


Great timer!

Great simple free timer to keep board games length in check for up to 8 players. Suggest adding an option to include names or initials to the player icons.


Simple and straightforward

3 things would improve this significantly: 1. Ability to select the colors in any order so that turns move logically from one player to the next from left to right. 2. Ability to add names to each color. 3. Ability to add time for each turn when in countdown mode (so that each turn adds another 20 seconds to the clock, for example.). Player order would be important for this.

This is lacking the ability to move on to the next turn, as far as I can tell. Currently you have to wait for the timer to run down to zero before progressing to the next turn?
