"Blitz" speed for for select games (i.e. Azul, etc)

Title says it all. "Blitz" speed where players get 30 seconds to move, max. Enough time to account for lag, but quick enough that games move really fast.

I'm glaring at those players who take 2 minutes to make up their mind on Fast mode, when they have or 2 or 3 choices available.

Seconded. I'd really value this.

It's so frustrating to start a "fast" game and each move takes so long that I've forgotten about the game by the time it happens.

Fast should mean fast.

I have been searching for this exact kind of thread for quite a while. I totally agree. There are a few games that I have 200+ games and I am able to make my decision in less than 10 seconds except for maybe 1 or 2 times in the game where I have to think a bit and would take me 20 seconds. There are times where people take too much time so I start doing something else while waiting on their move and sometimes I even forget I am still in a game so I get kicked.
So here I present 2 solutions - allow multi table option or give a fast pace of 30-40 seconds per move or just allow the option for a custom game speed and also this is another way of knowing you will only play experts.
In general 30-40 seconds for a lot of games should be enough
Can we have some kind of petition/suggestion somewhere where BGA moderators can see this and make it happen.
