#50132: "Speed up the draft with asynchronous turns"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
With 4 or 5 players (eg in the Arena), this game takes a really long time in turn-based mode, so every interface tweak possible to speed that up would be great.

One option to speed up the draft would be to allow asynchronous drafting, where the players can be in different phases of the draft. This would mean that when Player A passes their cards on to the ‘left’:
- Check if the receiving player on Player A’s left has already passed their cards on, and if so, they may immediately choose from the new set. Otherwise, ‘stack’ the cards by that player.
- Check if the player on Player A’s right has passed their cards on and enable Player A to choose again if so.

I’ve seen this implemented elsewhere and it works great. In practice, there is usually one player that logs on less frequently, so the virtual cards stack up next to them, and they can make 3/4 rounds of draft selection in one login. This could take some mental gymnastics to code, but accelerates the draft immensely!
