There's a forum game you might enjoy.

[McGarnacle]

The only times I resign IRL or online is when I ragequit (which is quite rare). I always get annoyed when people resign online right before my megaturn. I feel like the person is saying "I'm only here to win, If I'm loosing, this game is a waste of my time". They rob you of the enjoyment of winning. I remember one time I used Apprentice/Peddler/Pawn to draw an insane amount of cards, (I was very proud I came up with such a neat combo because I had never played with Alchemy cards and I don't own Pawn) and while I was buying out the Peddlers, I realized I could still afford 2 Colonies. My opponent resigned. I was ticked. Yes, we are both here to have fun, but if loosing a game means you wasted your time, I probably don't want to play with you.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

It depends upon the board, surely. I wouldn't expect any reasonable player to get mad at an opponent for resigning after they've been Kingsgoonsqueraded, for example.

I rarely play strangers but in 2017 I'm going to start - regardless, I think an opponent resigning in a 2p game is slightly rude when it's done on my turn.  When I resign I almost always wait for my turn in order to end it - it just feels crappy to be rolling on a turn and then have the game seize up and I wonder, 'did the server die, is my Internet connection out, etc.' only to find out my opponent resigned.   But yeah, in 2p games I can't see who has a problem with resigning except maybe players that haven't played many games and want to see how an X/Y/Z engine plays out.

I feel like the person is probably saying something more like "I'm only here to play, if the game is already decided, it's a waste of my time".


I always resign as soon as I realize that I'm losing with pretty high certainty. For example when the opponent plays all of his Treasures and I see that he now has enough dollars to end the game on that turn. I also appreciate it when my opponents do the same.

I'm generally a little annoyed when people resign at the end of my final turn. It feels really satisfying to actually pile out! I understand why people do it though.

I'm less annoyed when people resign in the middle or near the end of a game they can't win. They just save me time that way.

I'm most comfortable when people resign during their own turn.

Generally when I resign too early I ask, unless I'm really frustrated. No one's ever said no.
