action button placed exactly at the same place as the "next table" button

Hello,

There is a problem that occurs in different games when played turn-based: a button that commands an action which does not require confirmation appears exactly at the same location as the "next table" button. Then, if the other player finishes his turn exactly at the time you are pressing the "next table" button, the button is replaced by the action button and you select the action against your will.

Examples:
- Kahuna: the "do not draw" button appears in place of "next table" - you are not asked to confirm, meaning that you are losing one turn
- Spyrium: the "start activation phase" button appears in place of "next table" - no confirmation required either, meaning that, if still have free meeples, you will not be able to play them during this round

Possible solutions: add confirmation for these actions OR place the buttons at different locations.

You may think that it is unlikely that the other player finishes his turn exactly when you decide to press the "next table" button, but believe me, it happened to me at least 20 times...

This has happened to me, before! I would love to see it fixed.

Additionally, there are some games that have an animation sequence after your move. During this, the "next table" button might be in its usual place. But, right as you go to click through, the animation sequence may have ended and then that area is changed to an in-game action button which is easy to accidentally click.
