There was no easy way on the interface to end the game after a few rounds in the 'unlimited' mode; we had to propose to abandon collectively - but one of the players had already left and hence I was forced to quit the game.

Report history
This can however be solved like below; either:
- Add an in-game button to end the game, after each successful guess or giving up; this would take the state machine to game end state. This is already done in other games on BGA such as The Crew.
- Change this to a sudden death mode: where the game ends when everybody gives up on a card.
- Change this to end when all teams have 'given up' on their cards. i.e., 1 full round of giving up.
- Add options for higher number of words for groups that want to play longer, like 3 words or 4 words per player, and remove this 'unlimited' option entirely
The current 'unlimited' option is misleading and wastes players' time.
The other point you bring sounds more like a suggestion, please create one (or several) and see how many players upvote these.
- 'unlimited' correctly conveys that we won't be limited by number of cards or time, but:
- doesn't necessarily convey that we need to abandon the game to end it, thereby forcing us to lose our record of the game.
