Turn Timer

A shared clock for the table, plus a countdown that keeps whoever's up from stalling.

How to use

  1. Optionally name the game (e.g. "Catan Night") — it shows up during play and in the dashboard.
  2. Add players if you want per-player stats. Typing a name is optional — leave the box empty and hit Add (or use Quick Add) to get a default "Player N".
  3. Set a turn timer if you want a countdown, using the quick preset chips or the min:sec spinner. Leave it at 0:00 for a stopwatch with no limit.
  4. Tap Start. The current player is shown big in the middle — tap anywhere (or hit Next Turn) when they're done.
  5. The Table time in the corner keeps running for the whole game. The big timer in the middle is just for whoever's up right now.
  6. When someone's turn timer runs out, the screen starts flashing and — if sound's on — you'll get a comedic buzzer, a countdown beep, and a rotating cast of taunts that get more dramatic the longer it drags on.
  7. Tap End Game any time to see the dashboard: total table time, fun awards, and a full stats table.
Pause/resume freezes both timers together. One tap to end a turn keeps the device passable around the table.

Group Timer mode

Don't add any players and hit Start Group Timer to run one shared countdown for the whole table at once — no rotation, no "whose turn is it." Perfect for simultaneous phases like a trading round in Sidereal Confluence, a planning phase, or any timed discussion.

Tap New Round when the phase ends to reset the countdown for the next one. Rounds and timing still get tracked and saved to the Hall of Fame.

Stats & the Hall of Fame

Every finished game is logged automatically to your device's Hall of Fame — total games, turns taken, overtime count, and the all-time fastest and slowest single turns. It's shown on the setup screen.

Use Export on the Hall of Fame panel to save your full game history as a file, and Import to load it onto another device (this replaces what's currently stored, so export first if you want a backup).

Players (names & colors) can also be exported/imported separately from the Players panel, so you don't have to retype your group every game night.
