1. This should be on the Suggestions forum
2. Adding 100 exclamation marks doesn't really help your case (quite the contrary)
3. This has already been suggested and is quite popular: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=13887. I agree, though.

An undo feature is a (newish) part of the BGA framework, but the developer implements their game any way they choose. All the new games are getting way better, but with an exception for a few.

During a game, any time hidden information is discovered, an undo button is normally forbidden.

It takes a significant amount of programming to reverse moves and that is why it is unlikely to show up much. old issue.

There are other places to play where undo is ubiquitous. BGA focuses on live playing, and the undo feature can slow things down in this case.
