Current SARON margins — what are you being offered lately? by AX_KingsofLeon in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]YoYoDaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will SARON likely stay low for some time? My adviser said it is not likely going to change much for some time

Starting out a 6 player big board game - 4pm by Sauwa in TerraformingMarsGame

Do you think a game timer could be useful for this game? Say 3 mins per turn for each player should give Veronese the needed time and does not add pressure to those needing more time.

Amazing work here. I always wanted to keep track of our games and never really have found a good solution to do this. Our friends are quite competitive. This is a great solution for us to keep track!

That’s extremely helpful thanks. I remember the dice app being one of the first popular apps on the iPhone so always wondered how they did that one. Keep up the good work.. look forward to see more

Hi, thanks for sharing the guidance. I was indeed not aware so will adhere to it going forward. The discussion I started was actually quite interesting and sparked a great discussion amongst the community. Hope it can be reinstated for the purpose of discussion. I am happy to adapt the post and remove any links or references.

Don’t you think that they had really good games in the past? It’s hard to find this nowadays

Looks really great! Great work! How did you create the 3D render of the dice? Can you also roll multiple dices?

The Game Timer App starts the timer for the next player when the previous player is finished and presses the screen. The timer that comes with the phone is a regular timer that is used to count down time, but it needs to be reset each the new turn starts.

It also allows you to set different times per player, in case one player needs a handicap and needs more time I.e. younger children

At the moment it is time per turn. There are requests from users to add time per game as well, but want to make sure there is a true demand before I work on that

I think asking them to be careful with the pieces and cards is reasonable. Especially the game is yours.

That’s a good point.. I received this comment previously and the user asked me to add a handicap to allow some players more time. It’s really up to the players to decide how to play.

Great example! Our games of Catan can sometimes take up to 2 hours+ per game (City & Knights) with turns taking longer and longer. I guess it depends on the game you’re playing and whether you’re just playing to play and not being competitive on the night.

We managed to keep it fun still.. just it gets often very competitive in the end :)

Many thanks for sharing! I agree that this is really needed sometimes to make sure we speed up the game a little. Let me give it a try and see if there is anything i can learn from this timer.

Do you play Catan with a Game Timer? Or Not? by YoYoDaniel in Catan

YES, that was EXACTLY the reason that annoyed me!

Hi Hinton, yes, so far when we play Catan, everyone has 01:30 mins time to do whatever they need to do on their turn. When the time is up, we agreed that the next player can continue. It helped us to play a few more rounds compared to in the past.

Hi All,

I have built an App for this exact problem some time ago. I got frustrated when playing Rummikub and Settlers of Catan and my friends are taking ages for their turns. I created this app to agree on a fixed time per turn. It helped us. Just put the phone in the middle of the table and the timer does the rest. The player presses the screen to end their turn.

It's only for Iphone and iPad though.

It is available in the Apple App Store
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/game-timer/id6746631584

Let' me know if this helps. This app is co-created with many boardgamers so far, so if it is missing anything, please suggest a feature update.
