Time-limiting Games

[Chief]

I'm searching around for some sort of chess-clock like timer that can be used for more than two players.

We have a couple of players in the groups I play with who take forever to finish their turns so I was thinking of threatening them with a timer so they consider their moves while other players are taking their turns.

A chess clock that could account for 2-8 players would be totes grouse but Google is giving me nothing.

Does such a thing exist?

One alternative is a different chess clock for everyone which has their time limit on one side and the opposing player has unlimited or a much larger amount of time. 30 minutes on their side and 12 hours on the other. Clock on at the start of their turn and off at the end.

The sound of 5+ ticking timers might drive everyone insane, though.

Could something like this be heading in the right direction?

That's exactly what I need. They don't seem to give any way to buy it though.

At least you know it exists, maybe set up an ebay alert?

That's a great idea. Might be interested in something like this.

P.S. How horrific are the faceless, limbless people in that video. Geez.
