Undo/Reconsider option is utterly broken
There is a button on the left of the screen that seemingly backs out of playing a card. Problem is, more often than not, the card is not played; works fine so far; but then you realize the card you thought about playing, probably in an attempt to learn more about the game, is no longer in your hand! So the button is a discard button?! This can't be right.

Love the premise of the game, have been interested in the board game for awhile now, excited to have an affordable version to trial before making the leap to the real board game, but so far I just want to puke thinking that I could have put the money for this absolutely broken digital version towards the real deal.

I'll admit that high hopes played a large role, but it's been along time since I've felt so disgusted with a videogame purchase.

DO NOT PURCHASE IN THE CURRENT STATE!!!

Report the bugs, let them fix it and leave out the Hyperbole.

Need more detail about this bug - I just tested it with several cards in a variety of states and I can't make cards disappear through use of undo...

I've played at least 20 games and used the undo button frequently every game and not seen this happen.

Always works for me. Also if you have an x and an arrow, mainly with coups/realignments, the x lets you preview another country, instead of backing out the card. Which is handy for quickly seeing where you have better odds for realignments.
If all this games where released in a state like TS, we would be all happy and patches would be minimals.

The game is perfectly playable and the minor fixes it needs are delivered shortly, as we saw with the first patch coming. Saying "do not buy this game in its current state" is at minimum an overreacting to something that is easily fixable. This attitute is not helping.

Oups, i just tested with the new version, it happened to me too. I click on "Nuclear Test Ban", choose "Play Event" on the menu on the right and after that clic on the back arrow on the left. At this time the card goes into the discard panel !

But i can still select it from the discard for this turn again and play it normally. So it is not gamebreaking, just more like a visual glitch.


More info: If i click on place influence or all the other option, the problem doesn't exist, the card goes back to the hand panel. The problem appear only with Play Event.

I have Cia Created in the same hand, no problem. If i select Nuclear Test Ban, cancel it, it goes to the discard, and if i then select CIA Created and cancel it, the two cards goes back in the hand normally.

Loves this game, already 15 games against the IA. Works great. Good looking.
