Goko Dominion Online / Re: VP count bug when resigning
« on: October 30, 2015, 11:23:18 am »
I am not entirely convinced that MF has a bug here. The issue may be with the rules of Dominion. (I do not have my rules easily accessible.)
In the normal course of events, the end of game check appear to happen after clean-up. In the Basic game, for Gardens, you are told to collect the cards and count them. You are probably told to collect them from your Hand, Draw Pile, and Discard Pile. You are probably not told to collect them from the Play Area. (After all, there is nothing in the Play Area.)
With expansions and Promos, you are told to collect from more places. (Again, I don't have my rules with me.) You collect set-aside Duration cards, and cards on the Island Mat, and set-aside Prince and cards with it, and cards set aside in various places with Adventures, and maybe some more that I have forgotten right now. But probably there is no place that says to collect the cards from the Play Area.
OK. Someone resigns. The game ends right now. The winner is determined. There is no clean-up phase to move cards from the Play Area to a place from which they are collected for Alt-VP purposes. They score up the situation that they have.
If Donald adds the Play Area to the list of places to collect cards from, then they have a scoring bug. Until then, it is probably just an awkward mis-feature.
