Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
Misclicks and mistakes do happen, so it would be nice to have this as an option or player preference. I've certainly had occasions where I meant to build a Wonder, only to then click on "Construct card" instead.
It could be implemented like in Santorini, where you play out your turn and then either confirm or undo it. Obviously this would have to be prompted before applying any effects, like revealing the cards underneath. -

Usagi_1071 @enmobo I agree, undo would be available until you finalize your turn. Then once you finalize, the next card would revealed and undo would no longer be an option. I don't think a request undo would impact the game's dynamic. You are more prone to errors on a screen than you are in person.
Hélie Liputien I agree about the "small screen/Big finger" problem and also think that an "undo" - as long as no card as been shown - could be a great addon !
The request tho could be a "Dynamic-issue" when you play turn-to-turn
musedreads I can't think of a reason why undo is need, as most decisions a card. Perhaps the option of "confirm" would be more helpful.
Usagi_1071 Well, if you have a confirm button, would the other be undo or redo your turn? I agree confirm or undo/redo as options at the end of your turn would be ideal.
I think that use bigger square buttons on one line would help to click on the right one!
Spoils a great implementation otherwise.
Undo should be a requirement for most games when no new info is shown.
Also : maybe the "cancel or confirm" option could appear right before the moment of the reveal of cards, rather than at the very end of the turn. It would be enough for the player to notice that they built a card instead of a marvel (which is, I think, the currently most annoying mistake), and that way, ANY action can be cancelled, even the ones that would reveal cards.
