Confirmation on political actions - ? Marks

Post by orbit2021 »

(at least) on mobile it's really hard to read political cards using the new question marks "feature" without the political card just being played instead which is...of course... extremely frustrating and has ruined most of my games.

Zooming in very marginally helps. A confirmation feature when playing political actions would be very helpful

Actually, undoing all the recent changes to this game would be WAY better. I want to hold on a card (in mobile) to see its zoomed in version. I don't want to try to aim for a question mark, miss it, and have some un-undoable action commit. It's ruined games for me, too.

Yes, an undo option on all non-revealing political actions is long due.

The question marks also should go, but I just enable and disable tooltips back-and-forth as I play from laptop and on mobile to work around it.

This change make the game practically unplayable on mobile for someone not knowing all the cards.

Holding the card to see it was much, much better :/

Ah, from what I can deduct looking at https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=12467 - the hold to see details of the card was something that players didn't know they can do? And that is why the tooltip question mark was implemented?

For me, and people that I know and play with, this change made it really frustrating to play on mobile. Just the tension that trying to see details of military card may play it ruins all the fun from the game. And when the missclick happens (and they do happen), well, it ruins not only fun but the game.

From the bug I see that some players do need the question mark to be able to see cards. So I believe we need one of the solutions:
A) keep both Question Mark and hold-to-see-details
B) switch that enables "help/safe mode" like Seasons have (https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=seasons) - it's safe to explore cards without risking them being played
C) both of the above (again, like Seasons have)

What do you think?

I would also appreciate confirmation on political actions, and on territory bids as well. It's really frustrating when one misclick causes a terrible play with no warning and no way to undo it.
