Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
When clicking on a new star to use a telescope, the buttons displayed are Observe, End turn and Undo. Once the star is clicked and appears on the board, it's easy to click end turn to validate this as in, 'I'm done', but ending the turn in fact cancels the star just clicked and essentially cancels the telescope use (see Move 34 in game).
It could be clearer that ending the turn cancels the last observation (e.g. 'cancel and end turn'). Or the observe button could say 'submit' to make clearer the fact that after clicking the stars you want, you still need to validate that observation for it to count. It's just a little confusing, as 'observe' as an action might mean start a new observation move rather than validate the previous one.
