In my view, since it wasn’t explicitly said by the rulebook that you can surrender, I don’t.
@SuperbattleshipYamato I’m sorry but this sounds really lame and unfun.
@SuperbattleshipYamato you can surrender and you should when you have no hope of victory. I will consider you an ass if you make me play it out to full.
Theoretically, at that point I would quit anyway. Leave and never play at your house again. Or do you chain ppl. to the table.
@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Why is surrender not an option in the original game?:

I dont recall ever seeing the option to give up with any boardgames, its assumed people just know that they can lose a game by giving up.
Im pretty sure that other games, baseball, soccer, basketball, and so on, dont have rules that allow a team to give up but that if a team doesnt continue play they just lose the game.
@shadowhawk li
Lol… that’s exactly what happens if you surrender- it means you lose the game.
@Mr-Kell
Never played in person with someone else in one sitting, so neither of us would know.
Here’s an example of what I mean:
I’ll keep that in mind when I play with you.
@SuperbattleshipYamato the game you made TGC play you out to final victory conditions and he ended up building a huge stack of Battleships and took paris and killed your Atlantic fleet because he didn’t actually need to build ground troops anymore? Sounds boring I’m sure the signs were there that you were losing many rounds before the actual end.
Yes, way before.
Maby if the allies are winning they could make your stay at the game verry annoying.
Once japan lost its fleet and has the US parked around its mainland its as good as dead.
So maby the allied player could first capture all the islands japan has with a single transport. Your turn will consist of skipping because no money and nothing to move. Allied player will have all countries to play with guess you will get bored from the game.
