This bug has now been corrected.
But what happens when a player is left without any legal moves?
Are you eliminated or just skipped?

If a player has not any legal move, his Leader is surrounded by corpses : the Leader is in the Maze, or the Necromobile is surrounded by living pieces. So, the real issue is : Is a player obliged to play a move?

I saw nothing in the rules to answer this question, but I think that a player cannot be obliged to play an unfavorable move in the spirit of the game.

So, a "zugswang" position should not exist in this game.

I have no moves. Not sure what the proper thing to do is here. According to the rules apparently the move is just skipped,, ,but the game is just stuck on my move.

So it wasn't fixed anyway.
Positions in which the opponents can't reach each other will also result in such a stalemate position.
