Cosmetic Issues #34

The undo button symbol is misleading; the big red "X" looks like an indication that you cannot play the card you've chosen.

"Bazaar" card name is misspelled.

Names of adjacent players are not visible from the main screen, but names of non-adjacent players are.

Perhaps a circular or U-shaped green arrow would be better for undo? What do you think?

Funnily enough, "Bazar" is actually how it's spelled on the card. Perhaps the makers of Seven Wonders had a typo in production?

I thought about this, but I'm not sure the best way to solve right. Right now, the trade off is between showing the left/right players' wonders and main resource or showing their name. We don't really need to show the wonder stage or resource of the other players because it's less relevant to gameplay. I could put the name in place of the "LEFT/RIGHT" text in big letters, would that be better? Hopefully it's obvious enough the left player is on the left side of your screen...

I think a U-shaped arrow would be perfect. Another idea might be to add mouseover texts for the buttons with a description of what they do - that would eliminate any possibility of confusion on an icon-only button system.

And I guess that they decided to spell it "bazar" - the internet seems to think that they're both acceptable spellings (though it often redirects to 'bazaar'). Oh well.
