Game Time is a digital game timer. The visual design has been made by a tournament chess player to ensure maximum efficiency and minimal distraction. There are five different types of game clocks available. * Standard: Both players get a certain amount of time for the whole game. * Fischer: After playing a move and pressing the clock the time of the player is increased by a certain amount of time called the delay time. * Bronstein: Like the Fischer clock, but the time is increased by no more than the thinking time for that move. * Simple Delay: The clock only starts running after the delay time has passed. * Hour Glass: The time used by one player is added to the clock of the other player. So, the sum of both clocks stays constant. Independent of the clock type you can set the initial time of the clock. Either both players get the same amount of time, or you can set the initial time for each player separately. For the Fischer, Bronstein and Simple Delay clock you can also set the delay time. Also this value can be set either per player, or one value for both players. Enjoy!

About

Meeple Clock

Keep game night moving. Meeple Clock is a beautiful chess-style clock built for board games — every player gets their own colorful meeple wedge, and passing the turn is one tap. No more "whose turn is it?" and no more games that drag past midnight. Set an optional turn limit, hand the phone to the table, and play. HOW IT WORKS Set up your players, pick who goes first (or let the app choose at random), and place the phone in the middle of the table. The screen becomes a radial clock where each player owns a wedge. When your turn ends, tap your wedge — the clock instantly switches to the next player. FEATURES • Radial "table clock" layout — up to 10 players, each with their own meeple color • One-tap turn passing, designed to be used from any seat • Optional per-turn limit with a clear overtime alert, sound, and haptics • Pause anytime, and undo a turn if someone taps by mistake • Automatic round counting and a running total game clock • Results screen showing each player's total thinking time — and the fastest player crowned • Game history and stats saved on your device, with one-tap sharing • Keeps your screen awake during games, so the clock never disappears mid-turn • A clean dark design that looks great in the middle of any table GREAT FOR Strategy games, family game night, party games, tournaments — any tabletop game where turns matter. If your group has one player who takes forever (you know who), Meeple Clock is the friendly fix. No account, no ads, no subscription. Just press start and play.
