Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
I ended up choosing the wrong train route, which put me quite far from the goal (I rolled the dice to get to the next station, and chose a station on the wrong route when the road forked).
It was my mistake, but I would have liked some kind of warning (such as a warning for making a choice that deviates from the shortest route).• What is your browser?

I understand the desire behind this request. However, IMHO, it kind of crosses the line between a digital version of the original board game and a "computer-assisted" version of the game. Having the shortest route displayed on-screen is already a form of assistance not available in the boardgame - I implemented this in consultation with the game designer. Part of play is avoiding making mistakes, and issuing a warning about sub-optimal play is not really in keeping with that spirit.

Why would you otherwise need to select the destination? The route can also automatically procedd in the right direction. The fun part you need to think for yourself.
