Report history
I was supposed to choose from 9 tiles during my 4th explore but only 3 tiles were shown (6 less than expected). Then the next action was supposed to be the "Alien research team" but no tiles were displayed to choose from and I could not do anything to make the game go forward.

Move #342
Same: boardgamearena.com/7/rollforthegalaxy?table=101254124
Obvious that we ran out of tiles. Previous player abandoned 4 tiles, and got only 4 back. Then the player with Alien Research Team had to pick a tile, but was given no tile options, and there's no way to pass or skip. Abandon is the ONLY way forward here, unless you want to wait for that player to not play and boot them, which seems wrong.
The recent bug (< 2 days) which block the game AFTER picking the tile from Alien Research Team has been fixed.
However, this is pretty clear that there is another (way more older) bug with this tile.
We introduced today (Dec 11st 2020) something to allow us to have a better understanding on this bug. To continue working on this, we would need some more examples of tables ID with this bug, with tables created after Dec 11st 2020 15:00 GMT.
Thanks for your help for fix this issue.
same problem yesterday.
I must keep a tile but there is no tile
i can't pass; so i must abandon
and a previous abandoned table.
We've been able to replicate this bug somewhat frequently without the need of Alien Research Team, just by having multiple players aggressively taking out tiles from exploring so that there are no more tiles to choose from, at which point the game hard-locks the next time a player tries to explore with their last remaining explore die.

i cant draw a tile beacuse all are already taken
Currently the game stucks.
Note: The log shows the Alien Research Team action to occur for the player *before me* in turn order (who does not have Alien Research Team) - who drew zero tiles - and then moved on to my turn.
