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 t
