Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I would think it to be more natural to be able to rotate while you are placing a domino, which is not possible currently. Instead the option to rotate a domino is solely given while the domino is displayed in the 'to be selected' area.
This causes two problems.
Firstly, this may leave players unaware of the ability to rotate a domino if they focus on the playing field.
And secondly, if the orientation of the domino is incorrect while you are in the process of placing said domino, you have to first 'Cancel' out before being able to rotate the domino. -

Report history
This method is so unexpected that I had to ask how the dominoes turned out during my first game.
I even doubted for a moment that a rotation was possible.
This must be changed.
Implementation suggestions anyone ? Mine would be :
Using keyboard (say "left" & "right" keys)
Using mousewheel
Adding ugly "rotate" CW and CCW arrows left to player's kingdom, and hover to rotate. (for tablets & other non-PC devices)
We are placing tiles BETWEEN 2 squares, right ? Then, why not display possible placement where they belong ?

My only concern is it makes small pictures, but I think it wouldn't be a real issue
-> Size can be increased a little (I dont think a bit of overlapp would be a problem)
-> Dominoes would grow on hover, of course. Dominoes can overlapp, as long as the action listeners don't.
-> And btw, I'd keep the placement confirmation to avoid mistakes.
I just don't know about the mobile version, but am confident it wouldn't be worse than what we currently have.

Sorry for spamming this ticket. Seemed worth it to me.

Anywhoo back to the OP
I’d like to be able to rotate the tile prior to it being my turn to place it. Think it would save significant time if could have it all set up ready to put in place.
Don’t personally have a problem with the two ends for rotate in place but would be nice to be able to rotate in place as similarly thought for some time I couldn’t
je n arrivais pas à placer les derniers domino il remettait en haut j ai essayais longtemps sans réussir et le temps a écoulé je n ai pas abandonné la partie
Cordialement
Il semble impossible dans certains cas de faire pivoter un domino alors que sa pose respecte bien les règles de placement.
Au cours de notre première partie à deux, nous avons rencontré ce problème chacun à une reprise. Nous n'avons donc pas pu poser un domino où nous le souhaitions bien que la règle l'autorise (connexion à un paysage correspondant).
Il semble impossible parfois de retourner le domino à une place licite.
De plus certains emplacements possibles ne sont pas proposés.
cela réduit à néant des stratégies élaborées.
Cela ne me parait pas juste, mon adversaire n'ayant rien eu alors qu'il en méritait aussi ou alors rien pour les deux. Cordialement
En espérant que vous trouverez une solution, merci à vous.
Oh, and btw, clicking left should rotate left, not right. We may get used to such UI design mistakes, but fixing them would still make much easier and enjoyable.
