Rules: a rule of the game has not been followed
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not followed by the BGA adaptation?
I had 7 balls left and my opponent was out of balls, but still had possible moves. I placed a ball at (1,1,2) to block 2 of his balls, but he still had one ball that was unblocked. The game automatically played my next ball at (3,1,1) at which time my opponent could have moved his ball from (4,1,1) up to (2,1,2), but was not allowed to do so. That particular move would have completed a line allowing him to take back 2 balls.• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
I don't know, since it was after my last move.• Which browser are you using?
Google Chrome v63

So, if not being able to place a ball is an end condition, that needs to be stated in the rules. Otherwise, if a player becomes capable of moving a ball, then it should be allowed.
Jan 18th 2018 12:20 • stst • This is not a bug:
In this adaptation: A player immediately loses the game if he has no move (can't move up his ball on the board and his reserve of balls is empty).
By official rules the end of the game happens: The winner is the player who places his last sphere on the top of the pyramid. A player immediately loses the game when his reserve of spheres is empty.
But in this adaptation the "No move" rule of the game end was realized as it is more logical and strings about "Empty reserve" in official rules have appeared later.
I have updated information about end of game in game description.
