just an "undo" button in general is welcomed

Hello

you may choose the Confirmation preference and also adjust the Timer.

Honestly, it's a pretty bad option. Many if not all games implemented these days on BGA have undo, and an option to not use a timer. There are always things you might miss and once you added the card it's too late to do anything about it. Given that you don't reveal any new information unless you choose to replace some cards or tokens, it would feel much better to have step by step undo. I know that it's a cost in terms of development, but it turns the game from something I'd actively avoid (with no undo) to something that I'd play quite often.

It's a bit tiring to fight on many games for an undo option, only for it to be added later when more people complain...

I strongly agree a "Reset Turn" or Undo button are needed here. As long as you havent used the green thumbs to clear the market tiles, it doesnt make sense why you cant undo an action. It's very punishing to click the wrong item and have no way back

I also want to emphasize again that an undo button after placing the card would be highly welcome and would make the experience a lot better

There are several ways to prevent misclicks.

just use the Confirmation preference as stated just above...

Playing on mobile, it’s easy to fat-finger and place something incorrectly. Not being able to confirm or undo means I’m stuck with consistently bad placement

just read what is written above.
You can switch to Confirm Mode in Preferences.
