Report history
In a real board game, you have your action cards right in front of you. The skill of this game isn't about whoever remembers to add to their microbes the most. If its not clear to the user (in this implementation) that they still have action cards to activate, then its a problem with the UI/UX. Giving a warning to the player is an easy and acceptable way to solve this. Especially for those playing on mobile.
It's very easy to miss activatable cards on a small display.
Also, I think its just a silly reason to win that your opponent missed something, and just generally poor sportsmanship.
I also think reminder game features like this are enabling for players with mild memory/cognitive issues that affect attention to this kind of thing, and also newer players who are still overwhelmed by everything going on in the game. My take is that it's an engine building game, not a memory game. I don't want to win just because my mom doesn't remember that she still has action cards to use, because they are out of direct sight.
So, I have no personal objection to this being implemented.
Maybe a better option though would be a counter, such as "10/14" meaning, "Player has used 10 blue action cards out of 14".
This would also help know how many blue actions the other player(s) have remaining.
Please note - it makes our jobs more difficult if unrelated suggestions are added to an existing suggestion.
I'm pretty sure there is already a separate suggestion for auto-pass requiring a confirmation and/or being cancellable.
The priority is:
1) Fixing bugs that violate the rules of the game
2) Interface improvements to help players fix or catch errors.
We are almost there with goal number 1 - there are a very small number of rules bugs to fix. Some UI improvements for goal number 2 are likely in the near future.
