Not having the option for a new board is the reason I'm leaving the game as soon as I waste all of my gold bars. I bought them,might as well use them up. Bye Candy Crush. Greedy jerks.
Some levels are hard enough as it is. Being able to get a new board by backing out was a very small way to help just a bit. Candy crush is being stingy by removing this feature. They just want us to spend more money to beat the levels. This sucks.
