Turn Off Undo

For games that have an undo option, create a setting in game creation that disables it for live games. This would speed games up and more closely match the real world. I've spent two minutes each turn watching someone play and undo over and over again. While I imagine this would be a nice feature in all games with this ability, it would especially be nice in Kingdom Builder.

Are you wanting the function to be disabled, or just the visual rendering of the undo function so you don't have to watch it in action?
Funny thing is, there are as many or more people asking undo to be *added* to games that don't already have it.

Aboslutely. The answer is the same for both requests: This needs to be implemented on a per-game basis. There's no global BGA setting that can be created to solve this for all games.

I'd like it to be a game option setting set at game creation. The game that inspired this request was Kingdom Builder. We don't allow infinite undos when playing in person because it takes forever. I would like the ability to disable the ability to undo when setting up a live game of Kingdom Builder. I imagine this would be a welcome option where ever undo is available.

Then you should submit an official suggestion for Kingdom Builder to add it and see what the developer says.
As I said, it needs to be implemented separately for each game, so starting with an official suggestion to the game's developer is the next move if you want to see it implemented.

Why would undo has anything to do with game duration ?? A player does not get extra time when they undo their move (unless there is a bug in the code) so they are free to use their time bank however they like. If you want a faster game, use a faster time settings, dont disable info.
