Why no undo?

[prsmith59]

Agree, I like the way Ark Nova does it where you can undo your turn until the point that you did something like draw a card that obviously can't be reversed. I recently messed a game up when I realized I was making wines for the wrong order, and even though I hadn't completed making both wines, it wouldn't let me cancel my turn and start over. That kind of thing is just so frustrating.

I also once accidentally passed at the beginning of winter thinking it was still summer. which put me behind that that game a considerable amount. A lot of games will ask you to confirm actions like passing in winter when you still have workers when it's something players so rarely will do purposely. It's not hard to make a mistake like this in turn-based games if you mistake one game for another.

For solo I would agree but not for multiplayer games. A card layed is a card played in multiplayer.

Yep I agree

Definitely needs an undo. The combinations of actions can get quite complex and it's easy to make mistakes, especially with the summer and winter cards when using the bonus action.

So to all you guys that say it doesn't need it, I say to you, just carry on enjoying your wins but remember that it's not always your skill. Frequently it's the complexity and awkwardness of the game environment, especially on mobile devices.

Agreed this needs an undo option.
Sometimes things are not obvious until you start making your move.
A couple of times I've played a double visitor move but been disallowed to play the second card for unknown reasons. But if I couldn't play the second card then I'd have preferred to do something else instead...but now I can't because undo doesn't work. Pretty frustrating. It's like playing at that friend's house who is a stickler for the rules but he doesn't explain the rules to you until you've broken them, and then he won't let you take some move back because he wants to win

Haha, loled at the picture you painted Very accurate though. Normally it wouldn't allow to play the second card if you don't have ability to use it's effect, like no money/wine/etc to pay for the effect.
But the point still stands valid, undo button should really be there.
