I won an auction and could take either a temple or a volcano.

I tried the temple but didn't like it so redid my turn from scratch - going right back and taking the volcano instead.

I changed my mind again and decided I really preferred the temple after all. However redo only went back to after having selected the volcano.

I know I shouldn't prevaricate like this, but ...

... I presume that I should be able to go back?

when you select the Volcano the game moves into a scoring round
you can not go back

... but I have not gained any knowledge by so doing. I presume that is why you can't go back when you uncover a treasure.

Yes, but it's the way that the game is coded - presumably because the scoring rounds count differently than regular rounds.

I too have found this out the hard way and doubt it would be detrimental to the game if you were allowed to redo your turn all the way to the beginning (other than treasure digging).

In a face to face game I'd just be annoyed at the wasted time but would allow it.

It comes down to a code issue. Scoring rounds are completely different in the code, and it would be quite difficult to get it to go back. Be careful when you choose a volcano.
