Pro tip: a guy at a game night in Austin fixed my analysis paralysis with a 30-second timer
Honestly, I used to take forever on my turns in heavier games like Terraforming Mars and it was dragging down the whole table. Last month at a meetup in Austin, a guy pulled out a little sand timer and said we were all using it for the night. At first I hated it, but by round 3 I was making faster calls and actually having more fun. My average turn time dropped from like 4 minutes to under a minute, and nobody complained about me being slow anymore. I even started bringing my own timer to other game nights and people ask where I got it. Has anyone else tried a turn timer with their group, or does it feel too strict for casual play?
