It's really not insane!
Take a look at Welcome To - it works really well there.
Basically after you've played a card a confirm button pops up at the top with a 5 or 10 second countdown.

That means you have a short time to change your mind before the move is actioned. But if you do nothing it'll happen anyway.

So worst case it adds a few seconds to the move (which in turn based isn't an issue at all).
I agree it should be optional so if people don't want it they don't have to have it.

But I can't be the only one to occasionally click on the wrong card and it's annoying to ruin a whole mission with a silly mistake that you straightaway realise was wrong!

Ah! Well brilliant work.

Yes - the action in the crew is one click (or more if communicating) but usually after a lot of thought.
In a turn based game a 5-second delay will be absolutely trivial.

And I think it's far more necessary here than in Welcome To. In WT - you usually have lots of time to change your mind as you're waiting for other people. But with The Crew every single click counts immediately.

Anyway - lets see if others agree?

A solution in the middle is to make the button 'undo' appear only during the next player turn.

That wouldn't slow any game, but would give access to another extra possibility.


But yeah, if that next player autoplay , you can't undo.

I agree. I wouldn't mind an extra click for every card played since you only play one card per turn. An undo button you could access for a few seconds would be great too. We have had NUMEROUS times in our games where we accidentally play the wrong card. This happens a lot with multiple turn based games going (or if you can't see someone else's tasks on mobile until you rotate your phone since they're off the screen). If NOTHING else, I would think a user preference to add the undo button would be helpful if you think most people wouldn't want this. I've never played Welcome To but we have this similar workflow in Splendor. Once your turn is done, there are a few seconds to undo your turn.

Confirm button seems sensible for e.g. players playing on mobile devices/small screens, who are more likely to mis-click

Is it possible to have a confirm button that appear only if you have indicated that you want to communicate? While this does not solve the problem in the original, I know it is not uncommon to have someone hit communicate and then click they card they want to communicate only to play it. Sometimes this is user error (they forget they cannot communicate mid trick) but other times it is bad luck, you go to communicate but someone leads as you do it and it locks you out and you do not realize.

So Vandaley want to make it harder to cancel the communication.
So a confirmation when you cancel it.

I don't know how development for these games works, but perhaps you can add "use confirm button" as an option when starting a game? Or include it for turn based games, not real time?

I mean, honestly one of the reasons I love this game so much and prefer it over original crew personally is because of the lack of a confirm button when I pre-move. It was very annoying that I had to go into my options, select "skip confirm", and then continue with play. In addition, using that option caused the pre-select in the original crew to sometimes not work as often as it does here without that additional step. I completely understand the error that can happen, but at the same time, an easier fix would be to simultaneously stop pre-moving as well as only selecting the comm token and not selecting a card until after you have the ability to comm, right? I dunno, it's just one of the many differences between this and original crew that makes me prefer it, so I'd hate to see that go away.
