Hot take: I started using a 2 minute sand timer for my group's analysis paralysis and it actually worked.

We were taking 15 minutes per turn in Scythe, so I said 'clock's on' for any player over that limit. Has anyone else forced a speed rule on a slow group?

Maybe for some groups, but that would just stress me out. I play games to relax, not feel rushed.

Honestly that's genius. I mean it's crazy how a little time pressure just cuts through all that overthinking, happens with my friends trying to pick a takeout spot too.

Honestly, I should use that timer for myself picking a character in a simple game. I spent ten minutes last week just staring at the different colored meeples in Carcassonne, and my husband just started making coffee.
