pls make it so in Stone Age when you buy the civilisation card that gives everyone resources, the resource is picked on your opponents turn not your own. Its very annoying to have to wait during your turn for people to pick

But it wouldnt be right. You have to pick the resource immediatly and in the right order without knowing what the player who bought the card (or even other players who are before you) is going to do with the resource.

I'm not sure I have understood the initial question fully, but I guess you mean the only instance where picking a resource is needless, and that's for shopping cards the player with the second move (the one who didn't buy the card). This could indeed be carried out automatically. I second that suggestion because it requires time and attention - not so convenient for people who do something minor on the side like drinking and could use a short break when it's not their turn.

I mean after the roll you pick your resource as normal then carry on with your turn, then each opponent picks the resource that they want in there turn. This is how its done in Yucata its allot more convenient and doesn't interrupt your turn

But the way it's done at Yucata isn't right and it can annoy people. (And souly4, it's not about doing anything automatically.) That was implemented that way because they are turn-based only and they do stuff like that in order to save turns, and Stone Age is already a long game. But that game has issues and I wouldn't use it as a good example of how it ought to be implemented. And it can certainly happen that it will not be some player's turn again until after the feeding phase.

If you played this in real life, everyone would stop and pick the things they want right then and there. That really shouldn't take that long.
