Re: CANCEL MOVE OPTION

To be honest, I really don't think you should take it as an indication it will be added in new games :
- it's very specific to this game where you can do a fairly varied array of actions (including flares and claiming a task) before deciding your turn is over ; the fact that there is very little hidden information in this game helps too
- even if it's not intrinsically difficult, it was not completely obvious to program either, and the methods I used here would not translate straightforwardly to another game
- now when I want to modify the code for the game I have to be extra careful not to break the undo feature, and not to allow cheating through it, so the cost of maintenance is drasticly increased too

Thank you for implementing this in Tash-Kalar, it is bar none the best game at BGA that I have tried and I play it daily. Compare this to Troyes for example which will let you start a move you can't pay for but won't let you roll back, or Spyrium that will just take that click you meant for building option number 1 when you meant to pick option 2, about 2 mm below, or... I could go on (I've tried quite a few now).

Anyhow, IMO, if BGA wants to be taken seriously, and get a monthly pocket change from me, they need to get on with some much-needed improvements. Until then I will play at BAJ and Yucata and they will get my money. That said, if I can make a direct donation to you, Quinarbre, as a thank you for TK, let me know how... I'll look for other games you've done over here too.

There's an Undo button on Through the Ages as well, which is super useful.
