It'd sure be nice to forfeit a game when you know something has come up. We all have those unpredictable surprises. If anything, a setting to let you auto deadbeat so you don't hold everyone up.
For 2 player games, a forfeit button wouldn't hurt anybody.
we need a "surrender" button, i just posted a suggestion on this, would work well in 1 on 1 games, or when a multiplayer game comes down to 2 people and rather than drag a game out give a player the option to surrender which would not affect his turns taken %.
There is no way to quit a game because it is assumed that people who would start loseing (and were also unhonorable) would just quit the game to save their points... I agree that there should be a surrender button, though they need to make sure that if they make one, it double checks with you to make sure that you really want to surrender so that you don't hit it by mistake.
A surrender butten that puts foward a vote to other players to see if they mind you leaving or not. It stops people quiting on there 1st round or when lucks not going there way. There could also be penalties for surrendering.
