Feature Request: Player Approval Dependent Undo Option

Post by Dr L3cter »

An Undo option is absolutely necessary. I play quite a bit of Agricola, and i'll say when playing a friendly match it's killer to make a mistake and not be able to back (especially when the action in question didn't reveal anything i wouldn'd know already).

I understand there is a "Confirm" option, but that's not a reason not to have an undo.

Maybe in arena it's not an option.

I would also suggest that all players must approve the undo.

This can't be too hard to implement, so I think it must be a huge ROI.

what's the difference between not-confirming and an undo?

Of course it is hard to implement and would also drag the game longer. Feel free to join the dev team to try to implement it, it's definitively not a priority at all since you can already undo during your turn and have a confirm turn phase

Do you mean accept that undo is possible when joining the table, as a table option? Or that every player must approve each undo attempt? The latter just gives me the shivers combined with turn-based play :D

I think he meant the latest, just like IRL with some friends right before someone else make his move and you go "oh no, i made a silly mistake, is it ok if i rollback ??"

I also thought so. IMO such an option should NEVER be implemented.
