Triple Triad Time Limit Too Short

[AdlerTakamura]

Triple Triad is a strategic game. 30 seconds just isn't long enough to plan several plays ahead, working in the best options for regional rules and etc. You wouldn't want to limit your time so much in chess, so why with this?

Speed Chess.

Speed Chess.

Exactly ^^

Speed Chess.

Yes. Perhaps I should have been more specific by saying "The majority of players wouldn't want to limit the time so much in chess, so why with this?", but I had a character limit to content with

There's nothing wrong with Speed TT. I'm all for it. There is just absolutely no reason whatsoever to limit players' options. Making your plays more quickly doesn't necessarily make you a better strategist, it just makes you a faster one. I'd love the option to make the best tactical plays that I can. That's really all there is to it. Give us the option.

If someone is a "good strategist", why can't they beat a bad strategist, when they each have 30 seconds? xD

Because in 30 seconds, neither player is using strategy. Skill at a technique that you're not allowed to use isn't helpful.

Speed Chess.

Yes, that's a good analogy. Chess and Speed Chess use the same board, the same game pieces, and even most of the same rules. But the addition of one extra rule limiting the time you can take completely changes the whole nature of the game. Chess is a game of strategy. Speed chess is a game of pattern recognition. Despite their obvious but superficial similarities, they're not even in the same genre of games.

Here we're being given the Triple Triad equivalent of speed chess, but without being given its equivalent of chess itself. Those of us who enjoy having strategy in games want the strategy version of this one.
