How It Works

How the NexTurn Tabletop System Works

NexTurn gives each player a rechargeable tabletop node. The current player lights up, presses their node when finished, and the next player becomes visible without passing a token or opening a phone.

01

1. Place one node at each seat

The hardware lives on the table where the problem happens. Put a node 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 nodes

When a player finishes, they press their node. NexTurn 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.

Questions

Common questions

Does NexTurn need Wi-Fi?

No. NexTurn is designed for table use without relying on a router or internet connection.

Can I use NexTurn without advanced setup?

Yes. Simple turn tracking is the starting point; advanced flows are there when your game needs them.
