Issue Context

Player frustrated on how to restart game

thanks for the issue @LeoUCon!

I'd like to expand the context on the issue as well. Specifically, what does a good solution look like? Like, where should we place the button on the page? Once we establish that, I think we're more comfortable with opening it up for someone to tackle.

@tkshill, thanks for the response. There is a restart button already at the end of each game.

Another one can be added close to the about link at the top right corner of the homepage. This will appear when a player has moved a unique piece. This button will enable them to start over when they make the wrong move.

A possible solution could look like the image below.

Now I am thinking about an Undo button to reverse a recent move.

I would suggest perhaps having the restart button live underneath or adjacent to the in game elements rather than the nav bar.

Undo would be cool but would a bit more complex than restart. Since we'd have to start tracking the last player action taken. Not impossible, just harder.
