Decision turn timer in no time limit games

Can you please get rid of the timer and just leave us the confirm and undo turn buttons? Or, could you give us the option of turning that off? I was just in a friendly "no time limit" game of Alhambra with my daughters. I was working to see if I could rearrange my Alhambra, and the timer ended (and thus "*confirmed*) my turn. In a game on the table, this doesn't happen. Most of our gaming group does not like that timer (anxiety causer). We want to play casually instead of feeling pressured by that timer.

And why are you not changing your preference to remove the timer then ?

The point is why is there a confirm turn time limit when game is SUPPOSED no time limit... No option to turn THAT ONE off in Alhambra...

The ONLY options you can set are mode and time limit for playing actions thgemselves. Nothing about the END OF TURN confirm all actions done screen banner timer. I guess that's the problem which is talked about.

As i said, go see the link above and you will learn about user preferences which is how it is setup in Alhambra (each player has the choice between : confirm with timer / confirm without timer / auto confirm)

Yasten, you understood exactly what I was talking about. Thank you for running this conversation. I am not a techy person, and your comments helped. Now, here's hoping I can get it figured it out.

Well go complain to BGA framework then, as user preferences are always in the same place. I can't assume that players wont know that.
