When a user places their 2 tiles, there is a confirm button that comes up. However, a user might not see or remember they have their third flower tile. In my case, I knew I had the third tile I wanted to place to complete my loop. I clicked confirm for my 2 tiles and then it had me resolve ring and I could not undo to place my 3rd tile. I then get a new flower ring and lose my original one. It cost me the game. The funny part about this mistake is I have warned multiple users of this interface issue and yet I fell victim to it as well.
There needs to be a restart turn or the "undo" feature needs to be able to backup to the beginning of the turn. The gnome placement can cause a player to rethink their tile placements. If this were a game in real life, I would have placed my third tile, complete the loop, moved another 2 magnet markers and I would have had mushrooms that would have had me move my other gnome to the market. Totally different outcome I was forced to take because of a small issue over the interface and unfortunately, undo doesn't cover it. Consider a restart turn at the end of the players turn. -

Look around move 80-81 in the South west quadrant. I was going to close that loop with my flower ring. Instead, I only got to close the small loop and never place my tile for the other ring. It was a legal move and not a bug but it is definitely an interface issue that causes a player to not only lose the game but be upset. It's not intuitive and it requires a look at. I think "restart turn" or letting undo go back to beginning of turn resolves user interface issues.
