This invention refers to a time controller for up to six users for board games. The device uses a microcontroller and bluetooth module by means of which the number of players and the time of the turns can be configured. This controller indicates by audible and visual signals the current turn, the last seconds and the turn change. The method for counting the turn time guarantees to perform actions by interruptions, generated by the different buttons of the device, using a single microcontroller and with sequential programming.
