It is possible to restart your turn in Amun Re, but it is not as easy to do as it is in Reef Encounter or Tikal. If you are in the middle of buying resources for example, and you forget to play a power card or change your mind about something, there is no way to go back, or to start your turn over. In Tikal, you can start your turn over at any time. I would like to request a restart turn option to be continuously displayed in Amun Re. This would make a great game even better. Thanks!

The problem with restarting your turn in Amun re is the drawing of power cards. I could see what the top 4 power cards are, then start my turn again and only draw the useful first 2. You couldnt shuffle the cards each time, as I could keep drawing 2 cards until I get the cards I want, hence I dont think this could be implemented.

It would just have to work like it does in Tikal: once you've seen any hidden information, your turn-restart-point is updated to that action. So you could restart your turn to the point right after you bought power cards.

At which point you only have 2 decisions to make anyway.

Really no point to having this option.

what I have found as frustrating is the default selection of "play the change the offering card" when stealing money. In some cases, I selected to steal money, and not realized that the change the offering card was played. At this point I would like to be able to redo my offering and remove that card, since I can't see what others have offered, as long as I'm not the last one.

I would also like to see a restart turn option in Amun-Re. Even though I am a beginner and I'll pick more things up as I go, a restart option would have spared me fretting over a bad bid on a province, change in heart over rewards, or restrategizing the delegation of farmers/building stones on particular provinces.

I like how the redo-turn ability is handled in Hacienda, it is just like mentioned above, you can restart back to the point where you revealed a card.

it would be nice if all the other games had the same ability.

The biggest problem I've had with Amun-Re is forgetting to play the free farmer power card before I buy my farmers. Now that I've played a lot of games on SBW it comes as second nature to play the free farmer first, but I definitely missed it several times in my early games.

So that would be at least one benefit of adding an "undo" feature to Amun-Re. At least it would provide a mechanism to play the free farmer card if you happen to forget. But I suppose this particular issue could be handled just as easily by allowing the free farmer card to be played at any point during the buy resources phase.

I had been wondering if there was a way to suggest the redoing of purchases, the way it's done in Tikal and Hacienda when I saw this dialog had gone on last fall. I'd like to add my voice to those who would like to see the undoing of actions (other than power cards). Another choice would be having the purchase of power cards be the last action...buy the stones, then farmers then cards (or have the user choose the order of them) and like in Tikal, once cards are bought, nothing can be undone previously.

There will be a solution to this implemented in the future. Myke already has most of the ground work layed out. The problem is we are both super busy right now and don't have time to properly test it. Once we can test it out we should have it up and running. Until that time, just click carefully, thousands of games have been completed as it is.

I was reading through here to find out if I could undo my purchase of farmers as I needed to buy stones and my toddler was distracting me. Granted I was not in a great position and will lose anyway, now I will just lose spectactularly. Maybe I will never finish my turn and leave the game in limbo! Twisted Evil

I am playing with my friends and they will eventually yell at me or worse.
