New concession mechanism coming

[Maxxthecat]

WILL YOU ALLOW GAMES WITH ONLY 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE PLAYING 4 ROUNDS TO CONCEDE IN ROUND 1 OR ROUND 2?

To answer questions posed in the last few posts:

* The concession mechanism works in two-player games.
* As to why this was done, because of many complaints that the previous mechanism would allow a single player to end the game. Now, any game with more than two players requires at least two votes to end the game early. Concession is also not limited to the end of the round.
* Will I allow concession in round 1 or 2 (of a 4-round game)? No. I have seen games where one side was down by 8000 points after two rounds win it. It is admittedly unlikely. I am a firm believer that what can be done in one round can be undone in the next, which is why the mechanism is not available early in the game. If you disagree, file a suggestion in the bug database. If it gets enough upvotes I will consider changing this position.

One thing I would like to raise is that the way the concession mechanism is implemented it shows up at the top of the screen in a red button--just like the button we use to draw cards. I've accidentally hit that vote to end the game button by accident several times. It would be helpful if it was a different color or put in a different area.

I had also noticed that. The other action buttons are now generally blue, and only the concession button is red when there are other buttons present. (This is newly released not too long ago.)

Thanks! That's helpful!

Yes the button really should be in a different area, perhaps between the Target contract and the Round summaries.
