Is NexTurn overkill for simple games?
Sometimes. It is strongest for regular hosts, recurring groups, larger tables, and games where turn flow gets fuzzy.
NexTurn is for board game tables where turn order is obvious until suddenly it is not. Conversation, analysis paralysis, snacks, phone checks, and long turns all make it easy to lose the current player.
For lighter game nights, NexTurn reduces the repeated pause where everyone looks around and asks who was next. It keeps the group moving without making the table feel technical.
In heavier strategy games, the current player often has to think while everyone else plans. A visible turn indicator lets the table know where attention belongs.
Turn tokens and first-player markers get harder to follow across bigger tables. A glowing node at each seat scales better for 5-10 player nights.
