Can a chess timer improve board gaming?
321We played board games with a chess timer! Does the fact that both players have a timer to manage while playing 2 player competitive games full of components and differing phases/rules mean that the experience is better? We tested couples board games from across boardgamegeek, from Brass Birmingham, Patchwork, to even the party game Coup. One issue we ran into was the amount of fiddlyness with games, like with money tokens to purchase things in euros. You can also use a chess timer for free with apps for your phone, or use our link below to grab the chess timer we used.
