Since the other players have left the table, you should be able to do the same without punishment. Go to https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=765544696 and there should be a button to quit at the left side.

I have lost seven games because the opponent is not getting 6 subtracted when I have the most moons? Not fun to play with a bug like this.

We're in a general discussion forum, but since you're asking about Super Mega Lucky Box, you have checked that this isn't something covered by simply reading the rules of the game?

I definitely agree it would be an unfun bug, but I also agree with Ceaseless’s implication that it’s not a bug. I’ve never even played this game but once I saw what was going on and that the person with the most moons gained 6 points and the person with the fewest lost 6 points, I said to myself “oh, I bet I know what’s going on.” And then I read the rules and I was right.

It’s not a bug.

Although I am also as annoyed as the two other posters that the rules weren't consulted first:

Note: In a two-player game there is still a 6-point bonus, but no 6-point penalty.

I was once in a tournament semi final where one of the players had a bug that made it impossible for them to place a tile in a way that would complete a card. This caused them to be at a points deficit and get eliminated.

Unfortunately when bugs happen in tournaments you can't go back on the game's results (just like you can't redo a football game because the referee made a mistake). Still, it would be good if there was more support from the devs to try to fix the bug while it's happening. When the situation I just described happened, the player tried for a long time to resolve their problem, but they didn't appear to get any help from the site or anything.

Devs are volunteers. From what I've heard, they're only expected to help for a few months after the game clears beta. Anything beyond that is on their available time and goodwill. In my experience, devs have sometimes fixed a bug in a game that I was playing, allowing the game to complete. But there's no requirement on them to be available to do so (nor always the ability to resolve a bug that quickly). If you want more support of the kind you mention, someone (ie. player base) would need to be paying for it.

How fortunate then that these are only games for fun, and not something catastrophic. If a game is so broken that it can't be played, report/upvote the bug and don't play again until it's fixed. You'll be notified when it is.
