Call for help on turn based game

Post by Gerontius »

Been enjoying a few games of Forbidden Island, but several times have got stuck in a situation where it's one player's turn and they need to ask another player to play a special card.

These problems have been resolved with private messaging, but that's inconvenient and causes language barrier problems.

It would be nice to have a way to call for help from another player, perhaps even identifying a card (helicopter or sandbags) you would like them to play. It then becomes that other player's turn so they're notified of the request. They can acknowledge and accept or refuse and then play goes back to the original player so they know to continue their turn.

Something like this would really help simplify communication in turn based games and might help in live games where language is an issue
