I'd like to see this feature implemented. It should be pretty trivial to add.

When you click on action 10, if:

- You haven't used action 5 (introduce a shrimp);
- You have a shrimp behind your screen; and
- You have a legal placement for a shrimp; then

you are either asked to confirm that you really want to end your turn (eg Hacienda style) or you're told in big bold letters "YOU HAVE NOT PLACED A SHRIMP YET".

Some might argue that there are many things like this that could be done so why is this one special? I see this one actually come up a lot and it can pretty much destroy your game on turn 1 if you forget to do it, which can really take away the enjoyment from the rest of the game.

This is one of those things that just wouldn't happen in a face to face game. it'd be nice if it was duplicated here.

I voted yes for this Very Happy Very Happy

BUT this should only be done AFTER Amun-Re gets
the promised redo fix for resource purchases Twisted Evil

I'd much rather have a new confirmation button for the end-of-game shrimp eating which read "ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO EAT YOUR LAST SHRIMP AND WIN THE GAME?" Embarassed

Seriously, lots of people make this mistake, including me. I don't know of anyone who has made it twice. My view is that you should learn from your mistakes, not be cushioned from them. If someone is going to make this mistake, they are probably also going to click an "are you sure" button. Having said that, I'm not so worried either way, so I'm not voting.

I tend to agree. It's not like Amun Re where there's no confirmation. You first have to click "pick up a larva cube and some coral tiles" then you have to click again to choose the set you want. If it's a quick and easy fix then that'd be fine, but the Amun Re issue should definitely be higher priority.
