Library and "Set Aside" option

[Furio]

I might just be a donk with a mouse, but when setting aside with Library and I don't have any actions left I just spam click the "Set Aside" button. Once I have 7 cards in hand that button automatically switches to "End Buys" and I tend to also click that.

Am I the only one?

I would suggest moving the "End buys" to a different place in the UI but if I'm the only one doing this I guess I just need to get better.

The "End Buys" being treated the same as a standard button has its merits, but the burden outweighs the benefits--that's actually one of the few things I think this adaptation screwed up royally.
Star Realms is a bit overbearing in double-checking with the player if you want to continue with a certain move; the discontinued Shards: the Deckbuilder would have "End Turn" require a click-and-hold if it was technically possible for you to make another move; Ascension pulls up an "are you sure" dialog box if you attempt to end turn with technically-possible moves left to make.

It's not just Library that's the issue--on slower or less-responsive devices, you might be trying to tap "Decline" repeatedly to get it to respond, which could lead to accidental turn-ending.

Moreover, if you play a game with Platinums+Colonies, the Colony is placed right next to the Curse, which will defeat a fat-fingered player (like ending a turn prematurely, willfully buying a Curse is another thing that should require--optionally, of course--confirmation from the player).

Moving the button and requiring confirmation are both great ideas. I have spam-clicked it by mistake a couple times.

I could understand why making "bad moves" is allowed and unquestioned, since in Dominion, unlike all other DBG's I know of, it can actually be a winning move (in specific situations) to intentionally Curse yourself, or in more common instances, simply pass to avoid triggering the ire of a Reaction or something like Swamp Hag or Blockade;
however, functions like topdecking are, by default, skipped over for "bad cards" (Victory Cards) unless you right-click on a topdeck-enabling card and manually edit its internal options,
so the devs are aware of instances where players may want to make certain decisions faster or slower, controls-wise.

This is why I have it set to Drag on my phone, but use Click on my computer where mistakes like this are less likely.

I've done it a few times and I think this would work. Just have the "end buys" button at the bottom of the invisible list, nothing else takes that spot.

Do keep in mind that the addition of certain cards (especially "Landscapes," such as Events or Traits) can re-arrange the layout even more than the addition of Platinum or Potion.
