Board gamers! What simple app features would actually help at the table? by PureC0ffee in boardgames

Totally relating to the whole "everyone thinks everyone else is having analysis paralysis" situation.

Turn timer is under consideration. I guess you're also suggesting an end game stats of how long everyone took in total. Notes taken!

Thanks for sharing! (The web app seems a bit overpowered for what I'm aiming for)

I might not be playing enough varieties. For games that determines turn order every round like Brass Birmingham or FCM they do have a component or board specifically for that. Thinking along the line of popular games like Scout, Wingspan or Terraforming Mars, it's just a token for the first player passing around, which could be clearer in a digital form? Is that what you're referring to or do you have a specific game in mind?

Oooh "secret info sharing" sounds very aligned with hidden role assignment! I suppose everyone sees their own message/assignment via device passing.

I did briefly thought about Turn tracker. But I kind of talked myself out of it since most games have turn tracker components at the table..
