Vibe's take

Sharp and reactive — every play is a bet on how the table will time theirs, with the reversed goal keeping the usual instincts in check.

About this game

Right on Time flips the usual card game goal on its head: you don't want to win outright, you want to land in second place. Each round, you decide whether to play a single high card or team up two lower cards at once, and getting the timing right is everything.
