Galaxy trucker has a timer system where you flip the timer and everyone start racing to build their spaceship. Once someones finishes and feels comfy with his design, that person can then flip again the timer and when this second half finishes, then time's up and everyone off to to space. Really neat for when you're playing with new players so everyone can have enough time to make a nice ship or with experienced players and put pressure as soon as possible on them. Oink games has a few small gems on the catalogue, Deep Sea Adventure and Startups being the favorites of my gaming group.
RoboRally, one of my favorite classics, also uses the timer principle where the first player to complete his or her programming gets to put pressure on everyone else.
VOLT has a related “timer” mechanism - players take “tie-breaker tokens” (labeled 1-4) as they finish their programming
