Can you make it that when its on a phase and its not your turn, that you can enter in your move and whenyour turn comes, that move is invoked? Example: Buy Resources (let's say you are the 5th player but knwo what you want, just enter in you purchases for cards, farmers and stones and when the 4th player completes their purchase your turn is automatically completed)

Areas: Buying Resources, Amun-Re donations, Rewards, Income

You can always wait for the palyers ahead of you ehan it matters. i find many times that I've already made my decision and just waiting for my turn in that phase to come

Great site, keep up the great work!

I'm not terribly enthusiastic about this suggestion, for two reasons:

1. It will take a significant effort to implement, particularly for the buying resources and rewards phases.

2. I fear that players will set their choices, then change their mind too late (perhaps in reaction to another player's move), and come begging for me to "fix" it.

But I'll keep it in mind.

(BTW, the "Amun-Re donations" phase, assuming you mean the sacrifice/offering, is done simultaneously, so this shouldn't be included, right? Unless you mean the actual use of Change the Offering cards...?)

[AmericanEagle]

I understand the effort it would take and I'm sure there are many other important things to take care of. As for players wanting to change their mind (and bug you for a change), then they should not make any move in advance if they are not sure. I find many times that I already know the number of power cards, farmers and stones I will be getting this round, then I have to wait. By the time it gets back to me I'm sometimes forget about this game and what I was going to do. Making the donation is probably better handled the way it currenlty is, becasue I never make my decison until after I see what's been purchased. The change the offering card needs to be in order sequence the way you have it, becasue you have no idea what the total sacrifice is going to be, which may change your decision (usually it doesn't, but it can).

On another note: I've noticed that players get no rewards for playing a good game and not winning, only the winner gets rewarded (I could be wrong). You can play a game score 40+ points lose becasue another player wants to be a king maker and then get nothing out of that game.

I only dream about having the talent and time you have to dedicate to this site. Thanks for keeping up the great work!

There are a few occasions that during your turn, U have no choice but just to click the CONFIRM button such as when U have no power card to enhance your harvesting or no power card to add any point during the scoring phase. Sometimes, the game just hang up for the one who yet to come back for this CONFIRM button. How about just let the game keep running automatically when no choice could be preformed by the players?!

[RyanMC]

Because it shows information. It shows they don't have that card.

How about simple delay for 5 mins and then skip to next player. No one knows what's going on within that 5 mins then.

[areeve]

One thing that I think would be nice is to short circuit some of the decision making... for example, if a player plays a change the offering and the total is 8... well +3 and -3 will leave us at 2 so let's just skip that decision. Would that be tough to implement?

[coolpapa]

Another idea for speeding up the game a bit - would it be difficult to change the "receive income" phase so that it could be done simultaneously, rather than in order? That's the one place where I think it would be rare that your actions depend on another players'.

[HappyProle]

I think this has been covered elsewhere, but the general idea is that it's possible that you could sell cards or play cards on your turn to change your income that may influence someone who comes after you to either play a card or not.

[coolpapa]

I guess I can see that. I don't think that I would ever do that personally, but maybe that's just a sign I don't think quite enough when I play this game.

[dcorban]

Maybe I am in the minority, but I find my games go at a pretty good pace.

Doesn't being Canadien automatically make you in the minority?

[Adversarian]

There are some obvious times that could be speed up Amun Re games. For example in the collect income phase even when you don't have any cards that can effect your income you still have to click collect to finish the phase. This could be done automatically. It could give some info to other players if it happened fast, but so be it, it isn't much information.

[nearsider]

I'm with DCorban. Is there really an issue of needing to speed up these games?
