Let me change my mind partway through a play-2/3 #95

If I've picked the first card but not the second/third, surely I should get takebacksies.

The whole "pick multiple" UI is pretty bad, but I feel that it's workable enough until I can address the more pressing issues. It will get addressed ... eventually ... but my lack of progress on other things for this should show the amount of time I am able to devote to this.

I thought about a simple change that'd let you highlight multiple cards and then Confirm Selection them all at once. The problem with that is that it's less clear which order you're playing the cards in that way (the order you clicked them? left to right? what if you unselected the first card and selected another -- is that a replacement for the first or is it now the last card?). And the card order is important in this game.

Could maybe make it so that you could click on your card in the play area and Unconfirm Selection. But I kinda regard this as one of the natural hazards of play -- it's common to see a better card in your hand if you rush to play in a pick 1, and you shouldn't be able to replace it in that case, so why should you in a play multiple? Just take your time and choose your combination wisely before playing anything. You've usually got about a minute to decide, after all.
