(#5612751) Nine Men's Morris bug
Posted by T-Rex on 24 Jun 2024 at 8:15AM
I have just found a serious bug in Nine Men's Morris.
When a player is unable to move because they have no legal move available, GoldToken wrongly gives them a pass and they simply lose a turn, as in Backgammon.
According to the rules of the game, however, the player who cannot move should lose the game and the other player should be declared the winner, as in Checkers.

Here are a couple of references to back up what I am asking for:
«A player wins by reducing the opponent to two men (whereupon they can no longer form mills and thus are unable to win) or by leaving them without a legal move.» —Wikipaedia, Nine men's morris (under Rules)
«The game is finished when a player loses either by being reduced to two pieces or by being unable to move.» —mastersofgames.com/rules/morris-rules.htm (under Basic Play)

GoldToken has always prided itself on getting the rules right.
I hope this problem can soon be fixed.
