Lost Cities Beta suggestion

I've played a few games and really enjoy it. But I do have a few suggestions for what I'd consider improvements:

1) I put the card in the wrong stack a number of times. It'd be great if you could move the card between the discard and play stack up until the point where you pick a new card, or one of the existing cards. Seems like a simple way to avoid inadvertent mistakes. I'd say the card picked still must be played or discarded but allow the user to move between the two if they wish.

2) Add an option to play multiple rounds of the game. When I play at home, we'll usually play 3-5 rounds and keep a running total. I could see this making ranking more difficult and one can always just play again with the same player but I find it more satisfying if I'm able to come back in the next rounds if I had a bad first round and still have a chance of winning.

Feel free to take or leave these and thank you so much for bringing yet another game to the arena.

1 - The concept of press with the mouse and move the card isn't recommended in BGA, but it would be better if you have -also- a botton in text like "Place in the table" and "Place in yout pile"... in my first 2 games I got confuse with the red arrows, but not a big deal after it.

2 - Yes, In the rules say that people can play with more rounds, but the rounds should be "in real score", so if you got 100 in the first and -4 in the second, you got 96 points. (not like 2-1 or 3-2). Would be a good idea to implement, at least Neutreeko has an option of best of 3 or 5 matches.
