Hi All,
I think the 10 seconds is a little long, it effectively gives you a chance to check and guarantee your move is safe…in so doing removing a huge amount of jeopardy and leading to what should be a short and snappy game dragging and becoming attritional.

I couldn’t see the option, but if there was an option to reduce this I think it would be far more engaging.

I know this is counter to many other views but, I find the ‘fun’ aspect squeezed out by endless checking.

My view is that we could keep the "confirm" but the system should not show you the results of your move until you click confirm.

On the other hand, I would rather have an option to click to confirm without a timer.

I only play asynchronously and one of my regular opponents is often frustrated that they didn't see an implication of a move until too late. That's frustrating for them and unsatisfying for me. I'd rather they feel good about making their best move.

Edit: Sorry, just noticed there's another thread about that: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29950
