The Game Modes

NexTurn can run classic turn order, shared ready rounds, player-color turns, cooldown recovery, and buzzer-style lockout.

Game Modes

• Turn Order Mode
  One player is active at a time, with clear waiting, on-deck, and active turn feedback.
• Simultaneous Mode
  Everyone marks ready, then the round resets when all players are ready.
• Hybrid Mode
  One active player leads, while the rest of the table confirms before the next cycle.
• Player Colors Mode
  An alternate Turn Order mode that shows player colors instead of status colors.
• Cooldown Mode
  Players act, then recover through configurable suggested cooldown steps.
• Buzzer Mode
  For quiz-style games where the first press locks the table until cleared or timed out.

Choosing A Mode

• Start with Turn Order if you want a familiar one-player-at-a-time flow.
• Use Simultaneous when everyone acts at the same time before the round resets.
• Use Hybrid when one active player leads the moment, but everyone else must confirm before play moves on.
• Use Player Colors as an alternate Turn Order view where each beacon shows its player color and lights bright on its turn.
• Use Cooldown when players need suggested recovery steps between turns. It guides turn order, but anyone can still act at any time.
• Use Buzzer for quiz-style games where the first press should lock the table until it is cleared or the timeout expires.
• Default colors still identify common states: green for active, amber for ready or passed, purple for on-deck or synchronized round feedback, teal for stage changes, white for start-player markers, and red for disabled, expired, or error states.
• Player color assignments are editable in Presets and Live Settings, and Advanced Games can show each beacon’s assigned color with View Players.
