Sep 13th 2023 06:29 • GiantCoyoteBird • This suggestion has not been analyzed by the developers yet:

Undo at the end of the turn in case you make a fatal mistake would be much appreciated!

Sep 13th 2023 18:29 • thoun • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Well it's not that easy, because you often reveal hidden cards with "+".
Maybe a Confirm would be more appropriated, we'll think about it.

Sep 13th 2023 18:40 • Magnus3740 • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Maybe a confirmation button ONLY when there is a chance of spin out?

Sep 13th 2023 21:19 • Phoxtrot • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Option to warn about some risky moves would be welcome.

This includes some form of warning if you click to do a boost when have you have passed a corner or could pass a corner with a speed that could give or would certainly give extra heat.

@Phoxtrot, that's a different report than an undo button

only two turns in and burned by this twice already. Both times I clicked the "no additional discards" before discarding cards. I think it's just not clear what is happening, so more clarity on that part of the turn could solve the specific issue, but more in general an undo button would solve it along with others.

Sep 14th 2023 17:53 • Tisaac • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

I am not sure how to make it clearer for the discard phase though

Sep 19th 2023 17:11 • TomKy • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Undo adrenaline 1+ speed for being far behind or undoing using slipstream as those actions don't reveal new cards or revealed information.

Sep 19th 2023 17:46 • Phoxtrot • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

For the discard phase, maybe changing the button to "Discard selected cards (#count of currently selected cards) and draw cards" would be clearer ?

At least it would point out that there is an actual thing that you can do beside clicking that button.

Sep 22nd 2023 18:31 • ianoble • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

At least an undo if you slipstream past a corner and realize you need to pay a bunch of heat. Undo'ing a slipstream should be allowed.

I often forget the order of the adrenaline step and the slipstreaming ( I think because I find the iconography confusing) but stepping back the adrenaline steps would be helpful.
Thanks

I somehow missed the option to boost today, and it cost me the win on an Arena game. An undo would be helpful.

Oct 26th 2023 17:08 • CitadelUK • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

I span out after accidentally clicking on the Gas Pedal (4) card. I'd also played the Wings (4) card. I wasn't fully paying attention and thought it was asking me to click to activate the Wings card I'd chosen to play. Definitely my mistake. It was the first time I was playing with upgrades. I'm not sure it warned me that I would spin out playing Gas Pedal (4) due to not having the 5 heat required. An undo would have been nice in that case.

It warns you on corners that you are spending heat sometimes. Perhaps this warning should be shown. Though that text box is very verbose. By the fifth or more time you have seen that dialog box all you want to know is how much heat you are spending and, less important, how much you have left. Perhaps the important details could be bold and/or separated out of the block of text?

Really enjoying the game and implementation. I span out 3 times and somehow won that game.

Feb 16th 2024 00:28 • TheInquisitor • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

I had a Body6 card for discarding 3 Stress cards. I clicked 1 hoping to just click 1 three times but instead it discarded once and...that was that. It would have been nice if I could undo that. :(

Apr 2nd 2024 11:43 • Karlequin • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

I lost an entire championship (table 483479067) on the last race as I clicked on the wrong speed and spun out. I used Brakes 1/3 so I had two choices and would've been fine with the lower one. Was quite frustrating not to be able to undo that one, and/or not to receive a warning that I would spin out!

May 24th 2024 20:18 • crankycelt • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

You get a warning for heat but not for spinning and no undo even when you are last and it makes no difference. This is too punishing.

Jul 22nd 2024 21:45 • rjvonline • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

There should NOT be an Undo if any selection results in random cards being discarded or added; however, undoing Adrenaline when nothing random has been selected would make sense. I say that because I casually did so before realizing that not doing it would allow me to benefit from a slip stream taking me past a second corner without exceeding available heat (whereas the double heat cost over these 2 corners required 1 more heat than I had available). As this was the last corner before the finish line and there were 2 cars past it already, it would have left me in a position to compete for first. Arguably my error but one that I could easily take back in normal play...

Mar 1st 2025 22:11 • Kurtqw • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Just accidently clicked my mouse twice when confirming the speed and I think at the second time my mouse clicked "pass" and missed the boost. It was a critical straight and I would have no chance to catch up again. It would be nice to have an undo button

Apr 4th 2025 10:24 • Cardinalle • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Please please please please please we NEED the Undo button in this game. Almost all other games on BGA have it, it's totally incomprehensible why it's missing here. So many game were destroyed for one player because of a misclick.
Please do something like in Ark Nova - you can UNDO anything unless you reveal new cards. By revealing, I mean boosting, scrapping, even reshuffling your deck, etc. Should be fairly easy.

Apr 4th 2025 15:05 • Tisaac • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

As already said several times on the forum, it's not about whether we can do it or not technically, but rather the publisher that specifically requested to NOT have undo for Heat on BGA.
So you can upvote this suggestion to hopefully make them reconsider that decision, but no need to have a lenthy discussion on how it would be done.

Jul 20th 2025 16:23 • Tom_Franco • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

Specially the inteface on placing cards back on deck is stupidly done. It's really unclear that discarding cards has to be done after placing cards back on deck and touching discard X cards will not lwt you place the card/s back on your deck and puts you in a state you can't undo, after taking an action you didn't choose!

Aug 17th 2025 22:26 • fylraen • Developers agree that it is a good idea and intend to work on it:

At the beginning of a game, literally tapped slipstream by mistake and spun out, meaning I have to play out two more laps of a game that I have no chance of competing in. If it just had a "this costs 3 heat , do you want to do it" interstitial just like it has in other places, no problem. This is a really annoying missing feature.
