I like the idea, but not sure how it'd best be implemented in-app

It'd maybe be better as a setting for private games? For public, it'll likely be more annoying than beneficial overall?

[frosty granite]

Poker sites have been doing it forever. If a game does last that long, you're talking about people with extreme patience anyways, but full bladders can change that very quickly.

For me personally I play entirely from mobile - so I can just take phone with me if I want coffee or food etc - unlike pc users 😅

Agreed mobile players need SOME advantage

Jokes aside the issue with this is how it would even be implemented in a fair and reasonable way that doesn't stall games

[frosty granite]

I was thinking the same way poker sites do it... just pause the game for all players and start the clock. Again, anyone who's an hour into a game is already is in it for the long haul and would probably appreciate the chance to pee, smoke, or grab a drink.

I can't see how it would be unfair to anyone.

Not that it'd necessarily be unfair, more that if you're a mobile user you don't really need 5m breaks (and with mainly mobile users, it may not be a majority well received change) - I do see the plus for it too
