Having to click the "collect" button is annoying. This is the 3rd most requested issue: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=36919
So let's do something about it.
Turn-based mode and real-time mode need different treatment. Let's focus on real-time mode here.
The reason for the "collect" button to exist is to give other players a chance to play a bomb. But it does not seem wise to make this time dependent on when the "collect" button is clicked:
- If the user is faster to click "collect" than someone else to click "play bomb", then that is bad. All users should have x seconds to play a bomb.
- If the user is slower than those x seconds, then that just delays the game.
So my proposal is (for real-time mode only) to remove the "collect" button and instead auto-collect the trick after 2 seconds.
Please vote and voice your concerns.
