Last player can't join the game / Player mismatch #218

There's a known issue with the game where some players are unable to join the game, or end up controlling another player. This is most likely related to some kind of race condition with sessions and only happens for a minority of players.

30 seconds quick solution

All players affected by the bug can visit the following url : https://hanabi.cards/reset-session
After that, recreating a new game should fix the issue

First, thank you for the great and clean implementation of this game!

When playing this recently, we encountered the symptoms of this issue. Is there any way we can collect some data that could help debug this?

Hey @marksieklucki, thanks for the kind words :)

I don't think collecting data would be helpful. I think the session based games are just too unreliable. I just gotta find some time to rewrite it using local storage :)
