The clock between you.

A two-player clock for the table. One tap a move. The phone lies flat, and the far side reads upside down.

Four ways time can work

I.Sudden death
No bonus. When the clock hits zero the flag falls.
II.Fischer increment
Seconds are added each time you press, and they pile up. A 3+2 can open at 3:02.
III.Bronstein
You get back the time you spent, up to the delay, and never more than you started the move with.
IV.Simple delay
Main time stays still until the delay runs out. Unused delay is lost.
