Before abandoning the game, the green player moved a pawn out to his START space.
Per the rules, pawns that have just been moved out are protected against eating or swapping, and also cannot be passed.
But, because the player has now quit the game, that piece is simply stuck there, and no one can eat it, swap it, or get past it, making the game impossible.
It would seem like the best 2 ways around this problem would be for either the protection to be removed from pawns for players that have abandoned the game, or all their pawns should be removed from the board when they leave the game.
I understand, thanks for the report. I will remove their protection once the player is gone (more neutral if the player wishes to get back).
Will do this shortly.
Cheers,
Woodruff
The blocking pawn, if any, the player had before leaving is unlocked as soon as he gone, assuming it was their turn. If not, the blocking pawn is unlocked as soon as it would be the turn of that player again (so it could happen you are stuck behind, but you will just have to discard one card before you can eat it or pass it).
Thanks !
Woodruff
