Time for Settlers 1.8

The inclusion of a configurable turn timer can significantly enhance board gaming experiences, particularly during extended sessions where pace can suffer. This device serves as a pragmatic companion, ensuring that games flow smoothly while minimizing delays caused by slow decision-making.

With a variety of adjustable audio cues, the timer effectively informs players when their turn is nearing its end, allowing more concentration on strategy and gameplay. The versatility of rolling styles, from random to a more structured stack system, caters to diverse preferences, ensuring that both traditionalists and those seeking predictability find value.

The color-coded timer is particularly beneficial in larger groups or late-night gaming, as it clearly indicates the active player, thereby reducing confusion about turn order.

• Adjustable timer settings

  • Random
