yes, I want to pass/no, I want to play

I was wondering why these buttons with this phrasing are implemented in the game, the :
Yes, I want to pass and No, I want to play
buttons.

Why would you want to pass? Deducting from the phrasing it seems to be the wanted action, but I cannot imagine why?

I can't find it in the rulebook either, unless it's all the word 'may' (but then I still wouldn't know why you want to), it says: During your turn you may perform one of the following two actions: play a clue card or move your ATV (and then something about the amulets).

A player who does not have amulets has the option of changing all his cards instead of playing a normal turn.

If you find that the first option is not clear, suggest to modify its text in a bug report.

The phrasing has always felt backwards to me. The positive, yes, should be the thing that will be chosen the majority of the time.

I agree. "I want to play" should be the first / bold option. "I want to pass and discard my hand for new cards" would perhaps be a better phrasing as it says exactly what will happen.

Whenever I teach this to new people I warn them that the phrasing will seem backwards.
