hi! Do you know why we have a limited time to choose a DNA card ? thank you!

Hi pokipoka,
we have observed that in the vast majority of cases the DNA tiles are used at the beginning of the turn, before accepting or refusing the hand. You have plenty of time to choose.
Once the main action is done, the rule says that it is still possible to use the DNA tiles, but in order not to break the rhythm of the game (to avoid unnecessary waiting time and forgetting to click on a "validate" for example), a timer is triggered, as it is done in many other games.
That said, a slightly experienced player who specifically wants to use a tile after his action can click on the "I want to use a tile" button and then he has plenty of time to think about it

Hi Tabascov and thank you very much for your very clear answer!

This point raised a number of feedbacks and questions.
Finally...
After a discussion with the publisher, it was decided to remove the timer, in particular to give time to players who are new to the game, as others will quickly get into the habit of clicking on the "Pass" button.

thank you! I'm quite happy with this decision, which will make the gameplay easier for us. thank you very much for the answer
