Cancellation of the move in the game Conspiracy: Abyss Universe, in a turn-based game mode.

Hello, more than once while playing on the phone, I and many other players accidentally chose the wrong card to play, since the areas where you need to click are very small and they are nearby. One wrong move and you have already lost the game, how many times other players wrote to me that they made a miss click and therefore they ended the game ahead of schedule with annoyance.
Therefore, I suggest in turn-based game mode, enter the option 1 move back, since it still takes a long time before the other player makes a move.
I am attaching a screenshot from the phone, but you yourself can play and see that when choosing locations, the field with the location stack is divided into 3 parts. and it is very difficult to get there with your finger. Look at the screenshot which location I chose because of the miss click, and because of this I will lose this game. This location was next to a hidden stack of locations, I wanted to draw 3 random locations and choose from them, but since the distance between them is very small, I accidentally clicked on the location "2/4"
And this happened not for the first time, just now I decided to write this and offer to make 1 move back, of course, if new information has not been revealed.
Just a button on which it will be written, if you made a random mistake, you can go back one step.

It would be nice and we've all been there, especially playing on phone, but an undo move one you've passed to the other player seem like it would be messy

The option to 'confirm' your moves would be a better feature imo

This could be optionally enabled across all games (which have an undo feature which would be required for it to work)

Players which wanted this extra safety net could then use it some or all of time to prevent those dreaded misclicks!

For conspiracy specially, you could only go back to a state where you have advanced the game. So if you revealed cards, you can only change you selection from the selected cards. If you had revealed locations, you could only pick from these etc

In my experience the issues I've had are:

- hitting the wrong number of cards to draw (1,2 or 3)
- double clicking when drawing which selects a random card as they are revealed

This could easily be solved by charging the responsive UI to display the draw buttons as a 100% width block of buttons so they are both easier to select and don't overlap the cards once shown

There is now a button on touch devices in the title bar to avoid this problem.

An undo is not possible, as you reveal some cards when you choose cards from the deck. Confirm is better but would slow down the game. I hope these buttons will be enough to avoid mistakes !

Thanks Thoun for the quick change, much easier (though I will stick with my custom chunky display style now I've added it with some less abrasive colours ;) )
