How to reserve a card instead of buying it?

Dear Splendor players,

We had several players asking how to reserve a card even when you had enough tokens to buy it. By default, the game would buy the card if you can. So I thought I would share this tip:

Instead of clicking on the card, drag-and-drop it onto your hand. Two buttons will appear, one for buying the card, one for reserving it. Choose the Reserve button and voila!

We hope you enjoy Splendor,

Yann @ DoW

Thanks - we were wondering about this.
Firstly - forgive my poor etiquette for raising this point here - not sure how else to bring it to your attention.
We love the real board game and really like this adaptation. The one thing I think would be a great little tweak would be for the game to allow you to just end turn once you reach your 10 gem limit as opposed to allowing (forcing) you to pick up to 12 and have to then making you throw away 1 or 2.

It took me a minute, but figured out that you have to click _and hold_, then you can drag the card to either the left to purchase, or right to reserve. This was nowhere in the tutorial that I saw, and was the only place so far where click & drag was required.
