quitting a game

Post by Tarkle »

There has been two times that I had to quit a game because something came up at home and I had to go. Once my opponent had to leave for the same reason and I said okay. I try to just play one round games so there is less chance of this. Is there any way to properly address this so you do not get bad karma. Unfortunately, things happen and you just have to quit. Thanks for any advice.

Propose abandonment instead of quitting, after explaining it in the chat. If all players agree, the game is abandoned and there are no penalties. Or propose switching to turn-based (I think it will be 1 turn per day). Again, all players must agree.

If some player refuses, there's nothing you can do, either quit or be expelled. But before blaming the other player, consider that when you joined the game you were implicitly committing to finish it in time. If you knew something could happen to force you leaving, you should not have joined. If it was something completely unexpected, well, it can happen to everyone, once in a while is not a big deal. If it happens too often... maybe it shouldn't be unexpected.

I did not know how to do the abandonment but I will in the future. But I agree you have agreed to play the game. This is why I play one round games. But as a mother, even of older children, things do come up.

Hi there :) sadly our real lives can get in the way of cards....how dare it! I've had to leave too but I have discovered a way to do that without getting karma points taken and without getting your opponent upset.

If your game progression is 50% or more you can concede the game and it is an automatic win for your opponent.

On the upper right hand side of the screen you will see three horizontal lines. Click that and it will bring you to a menu. You will see concede game there.

I hope this helps :)

Conceding only works for 2-player games, though.
