Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I activated a foreign agent, then realized I had a better move so tried to undo. Despite warning me I would have to replay my complete turn, it rolled back to after the foreign agent was activated. Ideally, undo should start at the beginning of the turn. If this isn't possible, change the wording for undo and perhaps make it clearer that activating a foreign agent can't be undone.

Report history
I just had this happen, where I thought I could use a foreign agent on a tile where I had a Shop, but no assistant cubes.
I couldn't get the UI to work, so I clicked on an adjacent area, where I was preparing to send my president to get a 5-power action and the 5-power token.
Instead, the foreign agent activated with NO confirmation or cancel button.
And then I looked around to restart my turn (which I have done in the past), only to discover that it will not UNDO the foreign agent.
Extremely frustrating and may make me reluctant to play or recommend this game implementation in the future.
There are multiple suggestions about undoing in different situation.
I suggest having a possibility to have an undo check at an End Turn confirmation. (Similar to other tile plavement game where you can try around and undo the whole turn)
As no new cards will be revealed until End Turn, undoing will not reveal extra information, but give player a better experience by not having misclicks.
Just had a foreign agent activation misclick that might cost me a game...
