For sure! That was our biggest design challenge with converting it over. We have a sand timer that helps, but that time crunch feeling is something that's generated by the players oddly enough.

In the card game, you're frantically trying to work through malfunctions that are repaired by different tools that your teammates have around the table. When, and only when, you get through a chunk of your pile, you were begin to reveal the System Go cards that restart your Spaceship. We also bring in physical activities such as people needing to change seats or tools switching hands to keep the chaos alive throughout the 5 minutes.

Matt one of the creators of the card game here! Happy to answer any questions about how we translated the mobile app into a tabletop game.

We have outline of how Ramen works here (we actually funded Ramen on Ramen): https://ramen.is/projects/ramen

We're currently working to boil all that down and bring it right out in front to fix this problem. Basically what happened here was this version of the home page was somewhere between a teaser and functional homepage. We've been working on so many other parts of the business, we let one of the most important pages slip. We're hoping to fix this with our new design coming out soon.

Our wording is a little off there. Appreciate the feedback, and you're totally right.
