Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
The 3rd player has to abandon because there is no more a mathematical way to win. The other two players still have a chance to win, but they don't take it and just pass forever. This is downgrading BGA experience, having a potential for 2 players to force a BGA member to spend hours and ultimately force abandon a game.
-
• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
There was no way to concede in a 3 player game, forced abandon and poor customer experience as the game was stuck in a dead loop. I had to click through passes on time for over an hour, until one of the other players lost their patience and took the win.
Additionally, no way to report such harassing and/or exploit on BGA. • Which browser are you using?

Report history
The reason is that you can have 2 players force a 3rd to abandon, by closing all possible winning paths and then never taking the win themselves. Especially if you have a bot do it, this could go forever. My current game has been ongoing for over an hour with all players just passing, despite the fact that the other two players had cards in hands to win at every turn.
However, many would abandon before this point, as I was getting extremely frustrated. This is really poor player experience and risks losing members. I for one, for sure.
I've been keeping an eye on the game—no disconnections, no quitting. I didn't take a long time to think either, but the game's countdown showed that I had timed out. It kicked me out and wouldn't let me continue, and even deducted my credit points. I really don't understand this. Please give me a response.
