This sounds terrible 😕 Apologies for the inconvenience.
I'll see if I can recreate the in the Dev Studio and get a fix out ASAP.
Thanks for the report 🙇♂️
And have a great week 🍻
So I reviewed the game you were playing with Sabbie... The one were the issue occurred.
This is the last frame of the game before you abandoned it:
boardgamearena.com/archive/replay/220504-1002/?table=266008598&player=84218775&comments=91387091;
On review there was a legal move you could have played to finish the game.

However I can understand the frustration of not seeing a move and being forced to abandon.
Do you think it would be agreeable to end the match when both players pass and the tilebag is empty? Even if there are valid moves to play?
I'll also chat to the dev community to see if they have some suggestions... But I'd love to get your insight 😊
Regarding your question...I think with those two options met (no more tiles and two blind players) two passes are a legitimate way to end the game. If it's not so difficult to implement, it'll definitely save several pieces of emotion :) But if that's an expert mode, not implementing and encouraging players to use their eyes and brains is either a valid option.
I'll make a plan to implement that extra set of logic checks, so future players do not end up in an endless loop of passes.
Thanks so much and have a great week 🍻
If all players pass in order, when the tile bag is empty, the game will now end and check the standing scores for the winner.
Thank you so much for the report Dark Nugget, and have a great week 🍻
