Board Game Arena

I don't think you can turn off the automatic move, but you can turn off the automatic die roll which has the same effect (in the options tab under the gameboard)

Thanks! As a preference it makes much more sense I think.

Why the manual die roll? This was a nice fast game to play, but now it has dozens of unnecessary clicks added.
