I've noticed this several times in different games. Latest was a 2-player Yahtzee game. Opponent out of time; skipped her. Usual message "You can quit or carry on playing" but it's still the skipped player's turn so can't carry on and only option is to quit.

It is happening in Cinco 19950049 as well.
I am given the option to skip the out of turn player (which I have already done), but then get the error message "Unexpected error: No players are out of time at now"

Apr 15th 2016 02:44 • Liallan • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
Yahtzee 19845981 as well.
I tried to skip a player out of time, got the same message as Jest Phulin "Unexpected error: No players are out of time at now." It is still on that player's turn, stuck. Someone has turned down the group abandon. (I tried to PM her but it says the recipient doesn't exist even though I was just on her page.) Only choice is quitting. Be nice if this were just deleted.
This happened on another game recently as well, but I thought it was just a one-time quirk. I don't remember what game that was. It was either Caylus #19022996 OR Hearts #19551082. (These are the only 2 which didn't finish.)

P.S. Win7/IE10 on PC (can't try on Firefox cause it just plain doesn't work with games anymore, but that's another story)
Aug 27th 2017 08:55 • shamusj909 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
I just had a game of seasons where a player timed out. I asked to skip. It was still the players turn, so I had to quit. Therefore I lost the ELO points for a game I was about to win. This bug encourages losing players to timeout. Please fix.
Oct 23rd 2019 05:55 • Elemental Angel • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
Happened at least twice in Tock game, where skipping a player resulted in an error that forced all players to quit instead of moving on.

This has happened to me in three separate games now.
Dec 10th 2020 13:53 • FastMahina • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
When unable to draw tiles, in game with large # of players. I think the tile deck is empty. It occurred in my game probably because I had both tiles (Alien research ship and research ship(?)) that allowed massive explore options for me. The tile that allows extra tiles can also cause the problem. Most often happens in 5 player game. A friend in the game noted that this is "known" problem.

Not sure if the above comment has name of game. This was Roll for the Galaxy.
Dec 16th 2020 23:23 • coolpapa • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
See this all the time in Arena (Usually Kingdom Builder) when someone times out.It would be fine if the game just ended at that point, but it hangs in a weird way.
Feb 11th 2021 10:50 • Aleon4201 • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
Solo, Palace, Pirate Kapern...
I thought this issue was on Solo, but it happend on different games.
I think it's the BGA issue.
When will you fix it? Players who skipped with current operation also receive timeout penalty.
5 years? What's foolish.

Did you test the below order case?
Players are A, B, and C.
1. A timeouted and was skipped.
2. B's turn came, but he exited without playing.

Apr 11th 2021 14:37 • Pedroco • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
There are several games where players didn't play. In all games it was the same problem: after the other players kicked the 'timeout-player' the kicked player is still the active player and the games cannot be terminated. Example: Table #162173502

Is this ever going to get fixed? Table #170223559, player out of time for over 10 minutes now, game just sits there. Has happened to me every time a player stops playing. I have refreshed the game, so it's not me.
May 19th 2021 06:19 • GeraldineMerida • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
Has happened in several games of Marrakech too. In one, the skipped player sudden;y made a move many days after being skipped. and then I was sent an automated email about being almost out of time, for a game that is supposed to be over.
Every time any of the non-timed-out players attempt to quit, we are warned in a pop-up message that we will lose karma if we do so.... even though the 'skipped player box says we can play on or quit without penalty.

Same problem, table 184495304#
I’ve pushed the button to skip a player is out of the maximum available time more than 2 times. Instead of being skipped, the man is still active and all the other players have to wait for him up to forever or leave. Nice choice.
This problem is known from 2016... With all due respect, developers, mb you should to start fixing some very old and still persisting bugs instead of adding new games each weak? (If you have so few people to do all)

I think there is something wrong with the time clock. I am often being expelled from tourneys that have not come up on my list as my turn... When a game does show up.. I am 30+ hours over time ... and get expelled.
It does not happen every game - seems random... but am nearly always getting that 'dont be that player" sign which I find really offensive... Im not that player... fix the clock please!!
I cannot possibly be out of time bc I have bga tabbed up 24/7 and check in pretty much on the hour or so ..
Please advise. Thank you.

Potion Explosion #311739181 - I was expelled in the middle of the game, even though I was playing (just taking long to think about next move). After that, the game continued and there was no way to finish it. The other guy just left, but the game continued on with two buttons available: "Get back to the game" and "Skip turn of players out of time". Neither of them worked...

Table #360552363: TempusF5 was out of time and his turns were skipped, but anyway it’s always his turn to play.
This table is the last still in progress during a tournament stage, and because of this bug, the tournament is frozen until the time limit for the game is reached.

I can't skip the game, otherwise i'll have a penalty, but i'll do it either because it's just intolerable as behaviour.
Thank you

Mar 25th 2025 04:16 • lesleyheat • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:
Not my exact problem. Someone was kicked out of the game for going over time. I then quit the game after 2 were already out of the game. Then BGA says I've been kicked out for being over time even though I quit and it definitely accepted that I quit. I had another incident that was a bug in BGA a few days ago. BGA is ruining my reputation. It's very annoying and innacurate.

Same thing for me...
Welcome to the Moon, 689148539. Everyone skipped one player and/or left, I'm the last one in and just want to play out the game solo (I like this one, but as it's Premium I can't play solo by myself lol). The skipped player is still "pending" a move and now I'm stuck:
Skip turns of player out of time? BGA service error (reference: GS1 20/06 04:31:25)
Cancel my own turn? BGA service error (reference: GS1 20/06 04:31:43)
Even better, now it's acting like a table where it's "my turn"... despite me having taken my turn.
I just wanna play my game, man :(

LINK Partida: boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=757489888
YO estaba siempre al límite del tiempo, porque es una expansión que no suelo jugar. La verdad yo odio un poco esa expansión porque siempre hay un jugador que no puede hacer nada para ganar. Entonces, a pesar de que no soy muy bueno en esa expansión yo tenía hartas posibilidades de ganar. Entonces, en una jugada, estaba recién llegando al cero de mi tiempo cuando quiero terminar mi turno y no me aparece el botón de terminar turno. Recargué la página y tampoco apareció. Alcance a escribirle a mis compañeros que no podía terminar mi turno... cuando llego al -20 y me sacan de la partida. Claramente el que iba perdiendo, aunque yo estuviese activo en la partida estaría atento a eliminarme porque era lo mejor que le podía pasar para no perder puntos.
Nunca me había pasado.
