A deadlock scenario on Tiki?

Post by ArcLeor »

Im not sure if this has been repored or discussed here. If it is, my apologies in advance for creating a new one.

So my girlfriend nd I were playing tiki and got into a scenario where I was not able to continue the game. As a result, we decided to abandon the game and she said that she never wants to play it agian. Heres the scenario:

AA (S) AB AC
BA BB BC
CA CB CC

- There are 2 high tikis on AA and BA
- The shaman is between AA and AB
- I move my tiki from BA to AA this creating a 4 tall totem. As per rule, i must move the remaining tiki
- i cannot move down since you cannot move back
- i also cannot move right since the shaman is blocking it

As a result, any move i make creates an error and thus a deadlock. Is there any way this can be avoided in the futureor fixed?

Hi,

This is actually possible to undo, using the left arrow on top right.

However, I agree that as undo is optional, this may cause some issue. Can I have the table ID of the table where the problem happened, so I can check if I didn't miss anything?

Thanks for replying. Here is the table number:
Tiki #28265101
Move#48
Please note that I did not allow undo moves (honestly, i did not even know where the undo button is).

This is an illegal move.
You can only move BA to AA if you can move to AB afterwards without Shaman interference.
