What is Shared Game Timer?
The Shared Game Timer is an advanced turn timer designed specifically for board games, enhancing gameplay flow and fairness through multiple timing modes. It supports long-turn alerts, count-up timers, count-down timers, and sand-timer simulations to accommodate different player preferences and game requirements. The timer synchronizes across multiple phones, ensuring everyone has access without passing devices around, and integrates with remote controls, presentation modes, and casting to TVs or Alexa screens for a more tactile experience.
This tool includes error-fixing features like simple turn corrections and an undo button, along with a customizable scoresheet that allows for multiple scoring lines and formula-based victory point calculations. It facilitates logging plays to platforms like Board Game Geek or Board Game Stats, with saved templates for reuse. For online gaming on Tabletopia or Tabletop Simulator, it offers a token tracker to efficiently manage game resources like victory points, money, and materials, with a transaction log for accountability.
