#79792: "Increase amount of visibile game log"
What is this report about?

Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
I recommend that the game log should always show my full previous turn and all moves in between.
So in a 3 player game during my current turn, the log should show:
My last turn
Player 2's last turn
Play 3rd last turn
My current turn
On player 2s turn, it should show:
My last turn
Player 2's current turn
The reason for this is many things:
1) Sometimes a card is stolen from me, but I didn't catch what card it was. I open the history before doing anything else, but it is blank. (This even happens in a 2-player game) --> I believe this relates to an existing bug in the Needs Info status
2) Especially for turn-based games, it is important for me to see what I did last turn (including which discard pile used), so this should always be available.
3) the graphics / layout make it hard to tell when actions are played on mobile and easy to miss something (especially on mobile, where you have to make the cards too small in order to see opponents AND the draw deck simultaneously.)

24. Apr 2023 7:57 • Yes please. I am currently playing in a 4 player turn-based game. I can only see what the player before me did. So I have no clue what happened with the other 2 players (even though they played after my previous turn..)

12. Sep 2023 10:43 • I can't even see my opponents previous turn in my current game. I can see on the board that my opponent played a shark/swimmer, but I have no clue what card they took from me (turn-based game, so it's been maybe half a day between turns). Surely I should be able to know that?

12. Sep 2023 11:08 • OK, on playing another move in this, it seems that my above experience happened because I had played my turn before realising that my opponent's shark/swimmer combo was what they'd played on their last turn (and I was missing a card). I agree that the log should probably always show back to your previous turn - ie. your last turn, any other player's turns in between and your current turn. That kind of context is necessary for this game to be played in a turn-based setting (although perhaps the publisher doesn't want that, but seems a shame to exclude those of us who have difficulty playing real-time games due to real-life commitments).
