Improve turn-based play with "turbo mode"

[LaidBackAries]

For turn-based, can you please have an option (like turbo mode) for each player to place all 4 tiles for that round without having to wait for the others? One at a time is tedius. Obviously they'd need to be hidden from the others. That would really help the game run a lot more smoothly! Thank you!

Good idea! In order for the developer to do something about it, there has to be a "bug report" with this suggestion. Did you check if there is one already? If not, please make one.

In either case, please post the link here so we can upvote it.

I came to the comments looking to see if anyone else had this thought. I've added this to the suggestions. Item 199081. Up vote it if you like it.

The game developer here.
I have responded to this suggestion on the bug report page: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=199081
The main issue is that this feature could be used to cheat. Apparently some players have more than one account and could use the information gained by one of the account players to advantage the second account player. So, if it is implemented, I think is should just be for friendly games.
Please leave comments or suggestions on the bug report page as I don't always check here.

Okay - with some thinking and research I am going to reject this suggestion as is. It could lead to cheating and is against the guidelines of BGA.
HOWEVER - there would be scope for a new game variant: “Open Shapes (Fast Variant)” where all four shapes were exposed to all players at the beginning of each round.
I will explore this possibility. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
