Review: A unique experience that you should add to your collection - This is a great game that is totally different than any other game I’ve ever played (not saying it’s the only game like it, I just don’t know if it). I’d recommend adding this to your board game collection is it is a unique experience. I understand that some people feel that it’s chaotic but to me, the chaos doesn’t feel negative. It’s chaotic when you want to go faster than your resources or strategy allows. It’s chaotic when you want to slide your worker in before a timer moves to get more resources. But there are times that you wait for the timers to move so you will have downtime to stop and think about your next few moves. Pendulum has time-based, worker placement, and engine building all in one game and in my opinion, did it very well. I think the game is fantastic and truly recommend everyone who enjoys board games to get it.
Review: Time COULD be on your side. - An “easy to learn”, “giftable” game without too much “thickness” (don’t know the context). Stonemaier drills into your brain the concept of the timers. If you take those away, it’s a very straight forward worker placement game, with a small amount of tableau building. Take an action, get an item, use those items to take a more powerful action. I can see this getting hectic at the 4 to 5 player games. I’m mainly a solo-2p gamer, and this game flows nicely at 1-2 players. Automa is easy to figure out and perform. There IS a way to play without the timers, but I think that detracts from the intention of the game. The timers add an element of tension and player blocking. Without it, I can see it as a stale worker placement game.

## Features

- Goal: Each player is a powerful, unique noble vying to succeed the Timeless King as the true ruler of Dünya. The winner will be the player who manages and invests their time most effectively and who builds the best engine, not the player who acts the quickest.
- Gameplay: Players command their workers, execute stratagems, and expand the provinces in their domain in real time to gain resources and move up the four victory tracks: power, prestige, popularity, and legendary achievement.
- Time: Players must use actual time as a resource in managing their strategy to best their opponents, using time on different action types and balancing it with time spent planning and analyzing.
- Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Designed by Travis P Jones. Illustrated by Robert Leask.
- Mechanisms: Real-Time, Deck Construction, Worker Placement, and Variable Player Powers.
- Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a 1-player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
- Unique Real Time: Engage your whole play group simultaneously with this exciting timed game full of tension and difficult decisions.
- Thematically Designed Mechanisms: When you use time, you actually have locked workers who are locked into actions for a certain amount of time based on how long that action takes - various sand timers are used to keep track of this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pay attention
*by K***R on August 23, 2021*

One of the biggest parts of this game is that it is constantly moving. If you look at your phone you will most likely get stuck. It does keep everyone involved and you don't have to wait for someone to take their turn.
