01
1. Place one beacon at each seat
The hardware lives on the table where the problem happens. Put a beacon in front of each active player and keep the board area visible.
02
2. Pick the flow
Use simple turn order for quick games, configure timers when needed, or use the companion app for games with more complex phase and turn structures.
03
3. Play through the beacons
When a player finishes, they press their beacon. Game Beacons lights the next player and keeps the table oriented around the current turn.
04
4. Use the app when it helps
The app is there for setup, presets, advanced modes, and training. During normal play, the hardware is the visible interface.
