#63938: "Warn playerswhen they try to take a lesser bit"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
It might be nice if when a player clicks to take a piece, and it's not from the best category they are allowed to take, the game would ask them if they are sure that's what they mean to do. It wouldn't happen on purpose very often, so I don't think it'd be too onerous, and it could save a couple of headaches when someone clicks a tetrimino because they forget that they are eligible for a pentomino.

(I know from teaching this game to several groups, that it can happen a lot, especially with newer players, even if they understand the game quite well. I've had to say, "Are you sure you want that one? You could have one of these down here instead if you want." more than a few times. ;D )
