When ever i play multiplayer, i have problems with the time limit almost every time. When it comes to my turn, instead of 20 seconds i usually only have 5-7 on the timer and that has cost me many games. Sometimes i even get a 2,1 and even zero second timers which completely cost me a win. If this is an actual mechanic, then I'm speechless...

Its a problem with your phone or computer, it happens when your device its very slow

Isn't that really unfair?

the game isnt programed to do it, its a glitch

Basically both parties get 30 seconds each, any time your computer takes to receive and process the opponents move is substracted from your 30 seconds.

It's not very fair but it wouldnt be fun for other players at all if they had to wait much more time for you every turn

You could try turning off any downloads or firewalls, this may help improve this.
