Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Potion Explosion needs a serious undo button. I find myself not so much making wrong game decisions as much as making erroneous mouse clicks. The game is backwards with regard to how selections are made. For example I need to select a marble before selecting an action. Also, with regard to placement from one's hand it is impossible to undo your placements after selections are made. I also think that selection is backwards. One should choose their action then select a marble, not select a marble then choose what to do with it.

I am playing games with friends, but am making so many mouse-errors that it's ridiculous. I'd feel better if I was making strategy errors, but this seems very buggy the way people have to select and place marbles.
With the prismatic potion only ingredients in yur pool can be used as wildcards. Ig you have 4 ingredients in your hand and an empty pool how doe the game know which one you want to keep for after? There may be a tactical decision over which yu use as wlds and which you use for their own colour later.
If an Undo button is not possible due to the nature of the game. Please make it so the "selection" button confirms if your only going to be taking 1 ingredient (not causing any explosions).
Because this is an all to common mistake, is clicking the wrong option at the top.
Table #102022060
Move #128
Progression 20%
So many times I've picked the ingredient rather than what I meant was - 'get help'.
Not only have I wasted a whole turn, but I've completely setup my opponent for the perfect move.
I think an explosion move (pick ingredient) should definitely come with an undo if no subsequent explosion happens.
I think the key thing is that the "touch then select action" implementation is backwards. If that can be fixed then the game would be magnitudes better. I think it should be "select action then touch marbles".....with a huge confirmation button of course.
"First, you must place any Ingredients in your hand on the matching empty holes of the same color on any Potion tiles brewing on your Desk, if possible (a yellow marble goes on a yellow hole, etc.). Once an Ingredient has been placed on a Potion tile, it cannot be moved until the Potion is complete."
There is no "undo" for taking marbles from the track, either. Anyone who's ever seen the physical game knows that there is no way players would be able to accurately put back the marbles they caused to explode during their turn. An undo option for taking marbles makes no sense at all.
The game is properly implemented on BGA when it comes to the "undo" options.
This game needs an undo button and more tweaks.
As it is the interface is so woeful that it is far too easy not to do what would be simple in a real life game.

Also all my fellow players have had at least one potion fail to work properly which has caused frustration and could have been cured by an undo button.
I'd also agree a warning where you take a marble without causing any explosions would be nice, as I've clicked the wrong button on occasion. Again, in real life, you would just say, oh, that was my help for the turn, and then take your proper turn - I don't think you have to declare before you remove a marble whether it's help or your turn proper.
