## What is QuickGame?

Enjoy playing board games, but want them to go faster? Need to fit a game in a short amount of time? Then Quickgame is for you!

You'll be surprised at how a turn timer can transform a game, keeping people fast, and encouraging them to think ahead in other people's turns. With a loud buzzer when time's up, you can keep things fun and speedy. Supports 2 to 20 players.

The app can be used as a turn timer, or a game timer (like a chess clock, but for more people). For casual games, the turn timer works to keep people fast. Give them some time each turn (say 30 or 60 seconds). Or, for more competitive play, you can set a time budget per game, optionally with time added each turn, like in competitive chess (but unlike a chess clos, it works with up to 20 people!)

Feature List:
• Supports 2 to 20 players!
• Specify any initial time, from 1 minute to 10h+
• Two timer modes: game timer & turn timer
• Three different turn orders: clockwise, counter-clockwise and freestyle 
• Count up mode, set 0 to the start & add time, and it will count up, not down
• Optionally, each turn can grant an additional amount of time (great for variable length games)
• Players can be marked as defeated to remove them from the game
• During the game, you can add additional time to all players, or to the current player, and adjust the added time per turn.
• Change the color and label of players
• Rotate the gameboard during setup (using two-finger rotate gesture).

Quickgame doesn't enforce any strict "out of time" rules. This is left up to you. The counter will go into the negative, so you can clearly see who is out of time (and by how much) and can punish them how you see fit (e.g. "they lose").  We feel that this keeps things more friendly: perhaps you just want to keep things snappy, and not actually force people out of the game. It's all up to you.

It's possible to add extra time to a particular player if you need, so you can easily cater for beginners by giving them more time (or, you can just let them go negative, and turn a blind eye).

The "additional time per turn" feature is also useful. This keeps the game moving along, without forcing a game to end before its time. The more turns you have, the more time you get. Mid-way through the game, if you need to tweak how much is added to each turn, that's possible.

Quickgame has some pretty neat features too to avoid losing your game clock mid-game:
• Crash/reboot protection: if you restart the app while a game is in progress, everything continues as it should.
• Unlimited Undo: forgot to pause the timer for a snack break? No worries, with Quickgame all actions can be undone.
• End the game by accident? You can go back to it.
• Notifications alert you to when the time is up, even when the app is closed (only when a "Time's up" sound is configured, and notifications are enabled).

We hope you like Quickgame and try it for your future gaming sessions. If anyone ever uses it with a 20-person game, please take a photo and email us :)

We have a few ideas on how to make Quickgame even better, like being able to customise the player names, adding sound effects and more. The more support we get the more we will do, so if you like it, please spread the word!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2020-12-14*

App is great.  But you cannot undo the accidental removal of a player.  We recently played a 14 hour game and it would be horrible if after many hours in I mis-clicked that button once.  Can you add a confirmation dialog and the ability to un-remove a player with perhaps a long press?

Thanks!

**Developer response:** Glad you like our game timer! There is an undo button on the far left and it can actually undo the removal of a player. It can undo the turn clock as well, which is useful if you forget to pause when taking a break or someone advances to the next player by mistake.

You can also return to a game if you accidentally ended it, and it remembers and resumes the game state if the app is closed forcefully. I wanted to make sure it was safe to use for those epic sessions.

### 4/5 — Good Timer

*2020-06-11*

Great timer but would be even better if you could add an option to make the time add up for each player.  Like a chess clock! When your turn starts you hit your name and it keep track of the total time you spent during the game!

### 5/5 — Miracle app

*2020-04-26*

This app cured my wife’s analysis paralysis and turned her into a turn-planning-ahead machine.

### 4/5 — Great timer, recommended

*2020-02-09*

Great timer, very useful

Could use 
a better font or the option to pick another one
dark mode
simultaneous turns
networked - use people’s own devices to advance turns
create and save game settings with multiple timer modes

### 4/5 — Enfin !

*2019-12-12*

Enfin une app simple qui permet de mesurer le temps pour plusieurs joueurs.
Suggestion 1 : proposer un mode chronométre normal au lieu du seul compte à rebours.
Ca permettrait un usage intéressant de mesure de temps de parole. 
Suggestion 2 : en plus du bip toutes les 10s et sur les 10 dernières secondes proposer un parametrage de l’intervalle de temps et une option clignoter ou autre signal visuel.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed - no more analysis parálysis

*2019-07-12*

Phenomenal app... Minimalist but has almost everything. 

Would be EVEN BETTER if it tracked total time and time per player at the end of a game. Still, solidly deserves five stars.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2018-11-27*

We LOVE this app. It is perfect for those peeps who take forever to play tabletop games. We use it to play family games and we can add time to our kids so they can have a more fair game. 

One game we love to play is “say words starting with ___”.  We randomly pick a letter, then take turns saying words that start with that letter - no repeats. This timer allows us to make the game much more fun since we can set a chess like timer for each player or a turn timer (like if you have 10 seconds to answer). 

If you have any need for a timer like this, it’s well worth the cost. Just one night saved from the slowpoke player makes it worth it. 

BTW the instructions are super clear and I found the settings really easy to understand.

### 5/5 — Flawless design and all the needed features

*2017-11-18*

First of all, great app! It’s perfectly designed and have almost all of the options you could think of. It’s rare I get an app that fits so well with the needs I have.

Tried it for real for the first time yesterday to play a game of timed Jenga with 3 friends. We had a blast! 4th friend arrives, no problem! Added it and we were good to go.

The only thing missing was the ability to set shorter game length than one minute. We managed with 1 minute and 3 seconds bonus each turn, but it would’ve been ideal if we could’ve set it to 30 seconds and 5 seconds bonus.

I can see times where 1:30 minutes could also be useful.

So, please consider adding the ability to set game length in seconds also.

Otherwise, fantastic app!

### 2/5 — Lacking clear instructions

*2016-01-18*

When I first got it, I thought it didn't work. It appeared stuck on two person timer and options wouldn't allow it to change.  Shut down app and restart it doesn't work either.  Only by spending lots of time am I figuring it out. Could be a good app but it isn't intuitive at all.  I would certainly update the score if it would just tally the total time each player spent on the return. So at the end of the game and during the game when you could see who was the slowpoke.  Really wish I could get my money back.

### 2/5 — Could use some basic features added.

*2014-09-05*

I feel like it has some great basic mechanics but unfortunately didn't realize there was no buzzer after each turn. It would also have been great to have an option allowing it automatically start the next turn. So buzz after a turn is over and begin counting down the next.
