Is it a mistake or a bug?

Post by pepix74 »

Hi, everyone,

in a two-player game, we lost the game because we were both on a tile that sank.

The game ended immediately with the players losing; but, according to the rules, we were supposed to 'swim' to the nearest tile - and we had both a tile above and a tile below us.

What was wrong? Was it, perhaps, a bug?

Thank you!

SUMMARY: Based on records, you lost the game, not because you were on a tile that sank, but rather that the tile that sunk was critical to victory. The game functioned properly.

Could you provide a link to the game? I think you are right. Granted this was in March, so BGA might have updated the implementation since then.
EDIT 1: Note to self: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=482602298 or https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=482598217
EDIT 2: 482602298 appears to have been lost as both Fire tiles sunk before you were able to capture the Fire treasure. This might have been unnoticed because the flood deck got reshuffled while drawing, which caused the same card to be drawn back-to-back.
482598217 was lost because Fool's Landing sunk.
