Board Game Arena

Games are excruciatingly long… The time allowed to create a clue should be cut down to about a third of what it is. Does anyone else feel this way?

I don't, personally. When you're playing with 6 or 7 people it's normal that there will be some delays each round. Lowering the time will lead to people rushing out bad clues, or running out of time and playing on, or running out of time and getting kicked out. You can change your game settings to "Fast Speed" only as opposed to the "Normal Speed" game you played earlier.

I also find it an odd comment from someone that times out 1 in every 4 of their games and quits 1 in 7.

I definitely think the fast version of this game should have a much lower time, like maybe 60 seconds. It's just not a fast game if you wait 2 minutes for each word.

Isn't the time delay often due to either chat distracting people, where they're still discussing the last rounds clues, or its different nationalities looking up words, thinking through what they're putting etc. I've played since really fast games where it's been smaller numbers of players and all from native English speaking countries.
