just a suggestion

I'd say that this should not be implemented. Like a real game, it is up to the player to check their cards before they choose to pass. Just my 2 cents worth.

Many many other games have a similar warning. For example Tapestry, it give you a warning if you go to do an income turn (equivalent to passing to the next 'round') when you can still do advance actions. And Castles of Burgundy even give you a warning that you can still buy a tile from the middle if you have no yet done so and still can.

In a real board game, you have your action cards right in front of you. The skill of this game isn't about whoever remembers to add to their microbes the most. If its not clear to the user (in this implementation) that they still have action cards to activate, then its a problem with the UI/UX. Giving a warning to the player is an easy and acceptable way to solve this. Especially for those playing on mobile.

I've been playing exclusively in mobile, because the desktop interface hides my activatable cards.

It's very easy to miss activatable cards on a small display.

Also, I think its just a silly reason to win that your opponent missed something, and just generally poor sportsmanship.

Same for advance pass!! Forgot to activate a blue card and now it's wasted! At least allow to cancel the "advance pass"!!

27. Apr 2024 18:10 • fundriver • K:

I just had this with advanced pass. there it is even more annoying, since it's not actually your turn and you can't cancel it anymore even if you see the mistake right afterwarts

while I see where people are coming from when they say that you don't get an alarm if playing IRL the problem here is that with that implementation and very limited adjustability to how cards are shown it is much easier to overlook that you have unused action cards than it would be in real life.

I second lemonacid. It is much easier to miss this than in real life, because it's hard to keep eyes on your whole tableau, especially on mobile.

I also think reminder game features like this are enabling for players with mild memory/cognitive issues that affect attention to this kind of thing, and also newer players who are still overwhelmed by everything going on in the game. My take is that it's an engine building game, not a memory game. I don't want to win just because my mom doesn't remember that she still has action cards to use, because they are out of direct sight.

"Earth" gives a warning when not taking full use of benefits.
So, I have no personal objection to this being implemented.

Maybe a better option though would be a counter, such as "10/14" meaning, "Player has used 10 blue action cards out of 14".

This would also help know how many blue actions the other player(s) have remaining.

29. Sep 2025 18:39 • FrankJones • K:

Or, maybe a button "confirm passing with unused blue actions" ?

15. Oct 2025 01:57 • blahedo • K:

Either of those would be good! With the button version please make sure it applies on advance pass too

15. Oct 2025 09:22 • xspuipuke • K:

With autopass, they should really just implement that you can take it back.

15. Oct 2025 12:39 • FrankJones • K:

With 73 upvotes, this has a strong possibility of being implemented.

Please note - it makes our jobs more difficult if unrelated suggestions are added to an existing suggestion.
I'm pretty sure there is already a separate suggestion for auto-pass requiring a confirmation and/or being cancellable.

The priority is:
1) Fixing bugs that violate the rules of the game
2) Interface improvements to help players fix or catch errors.

We are almost there with goal number 1 - there are a very small number of rules bugs to fix. Some UI improvements for goal number 2 are likely in the near future.
