Turn limit and time limit

Normally a match is won by reaching the Goal and arriving at a bank. With a Turn limit or a Time limit you can instead stop the match after a fixed number of turns or minutes, and whoever has the most net worth at that moment wins. It suits a short evening, or a stream or event that has to end at a known time.

Rule settings — the Turn limit, Time limit and Time bank rows

Both are rows on the rule settings (press R on the board list). If you touch neither, a match ends exactly as before — by the Goal alone.

1. Three ways a match can end

How a match ends is decided by three switches. They are independent, and the first one to trigger ends the match.

Goal	Turn limit	Time limit	How the match ends
On	Off	Off	Reach the Goal and a bank (the usual game)
On	On	Off	Reach the Goal ／ the chosen number of turns is up — richest wins
On	Off	On	Reach the Goal ／ the round in which time ran out ends — richest wins
On	On	On	Whichever of the three comes first
Off	On	Off	The chosen number of turns is up — richest wins
Off	Off	On	The round in which time ran out ends — richest wins
Off	On	On	Whichever comes first
Off	Off	Off	Not allowed (the only ending left would be bankruptcy)

Bankruptcies still end the match in every combination
The Goal can be set to None only while a Turn limit or a Time limit is set. Put both back to None and the Goal returns to its previous value by itself
Even with a limit running, reaching the Goal and a bank wins on the spot (a limit is only checked between rounds, so the Goal always settles first)

2. Turn limit

The Turn limit ends the match once everyone has taken this many turns.

The final lap — a LAST TURN banner on the board, and in the sidebar

A turn is one lap — everybody takes one move, the same count the "Turn" chip on screen uses
The row is None / Default / a number (5–999 turns). Enter types a number (typing 0 gives Default)
A rest turn, and the place of a bankrupt seat, still count as one move each. A lap always advances by the number of seats, so the match ends with everyone having had the same number of moves

During a match the top of the sidebar shows "N turns left". It turns yellow at 3 turns or fewer and red at 1.

When the final lap begins, a "LAST TURN! the match ends after this round" banner crosses the board and the sidebar chip becomes "LAST TURN". The match ends as soon as everyone has finished that lap.

3. Time limit

The Time limit is a clock for the whole match. The match ends at the end of the round in which the clock reaches 0.

A match on a time limit — the clock row reads Left instead of Time

The row is None / Default / minutes (5–999 min). Enter types a number
While the clock runs, the "Time" line in the sidebar becomes "Left 0:09:55". It turns yellow at 5 minutes and red at 1
The clock stops while paused and after the match is over. If you suspend and come back, it carries on from where it was

3a. What happens at zero

Reaching zero does not end the match on the spot. The lap in progress is played out by everyone. The match ends the moment the next lap would begin, and the player with the most net worth wins.

From the moment time runs out, the "LAST TURN" banner appears (the same one the Turn limit uses)
Everyone has had the same number of moves, so nobody wins just by being in front when the clock happened to stop
The CPU knows about the last turn too and plays the final lap with the end in mind

4. Stopping stalling — Time bank and Max per turn

With a Time limit alone, the player in front could drag out their own turns until the clock ran out. These four rows are what stops that. Setting a Time limit also fills in Max per turn for you (10 minutes by default).

Row	What it decides
Time bank	The time one player may use over the whole match. Unlimited means no clock (the default)
Charged in	By the minute = a minute comes off for every whole minute of your own turn (a part-minute is free) ／ By the second = only the time actually used
Max per turn	How long one turn may take. When it runs out, the CPU plays that one turn for you
Grace when empty	The allowance per turn once the Time bank is gone (120 seconds by default)

When time runs out, the CPU (relief) plays that one turn only. You are back on your next turn — your seat does not disappear and the match does not end
The clock runs only on a person's own turn. It does not run for CPU seats
It does not run while someone else is answering (an auction bid, a negotiation reply, a stock offer), or while paused
A casino mini-game, or selling things to cover a shortfall, also happens on your own time; if it runs out, the CPU carries on
Time bank and Max per turn work without a Time limit too (for a match that just has a clock)
When charging by the minute, Max per turn can only be set in whole minutes

5. Who wins

When a limit ends the match, the winner is decided like this:

The player with the greatest net worth (cash + shops + stock)
A tie goes to the lower seat number
In team matches, teams are compared by their combined net worth
Bankrupt players are not in the running

The winner is announced with "turn limit, richest player" or "time up, richest player" beside the name.

6. The Default numbers

Choosing Default gives the board's own number if it sets one; otherwise it is worked out from the Goal (the row shows "Default = …").

Goal	Turn limit
up to 10,000G	30
up to 12,000G	36
up to 14,000G	42
up to 16,000G	48
up to 18,000G	54
up to 20,000G	60
up to 22,000G	66

Goal	Time limit
up to 10,000G	60 min
up to 12,500G	75 min
up to 15,000G	90 min
up to 17,500G	105 min
up to 20,000G	120 min
up to 22,500G	135 min
up to 25,000G	150 min

Above 10,000G the Turn limit grows by 6 for every 2,000G and the Time limit by 15 minutes for every 2,500G (both rounded up; the ceiling is 999).

⚠ Nothing is limited unless you choose a value. Even if the board carries a number, a row left on None plays as an ordinary match.

7. Ways to use it

A 30-turn sprint — Turn limit 30, Goal None. Compete on net worth over a fixed number of laps
A match that ends within the hour (good for streams) — Time limit 60 min. Max per turn is filled in for you
Both a Goal and a limit — set both, and whichever arrives first ends it
Online play — a custom room's host sets the same rows. In a room, a Turn limit or Time limit below 5 is rounded up to 5, and the Time bank starts from the room's defaults (10 minutes, 120 s grace) → see the Online play guide

Once a match has started, these rules cannot be changed (you can read them in-match under Data → Rules).
