I won this game with a stack of 7 (4 colours + 3 grey):

Is this allowed by the rules?

the rulebook doesnt mention it specifically, but I think the intent of the designer is clear: the stack has to consist of exacly 6 pieces.

Wait, that’s clear intent? I would interpret it as 6 or more – not that I’m good at the game by any means, though.

Related to this issue, is a rule that seems to imply that we can move a grey piece on top of a coloured piece:
> If it happens that a player completes a stack of 6 pieces with a neutral piece on top, it does not count as a win. ...
But this is not implemented in golem. I can’t move a grey piece on top of another piece.

@ypercube: “neutral piece” != the gray joker/wild piece.
Neutral pieces are any stacks topped with a color not yet claimed by a player. The jokers are never claimed.
Regarding the original question:

I hope the programmers can fix this before any more games are affected.

1. It is not possible (More than 6 stones in stack). I receive email from author of game (Kris Burm) after implementation of Lyngk (and Google mark this mail as spam). I return last move in this game.
2. Grey piece is not neutral piece according to rules. It is Joker piece. Rules: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/142605/lyngk-rules

Here is the relevant section in the rules:
“White” is distinguished from Ivory. White is actually Gray here at LG (understandably confusing):
"D. J O K E R P I E C E S , N E U T R A L PIECES AND CLAIMED PIECES
1/ The 3 white pieces must be considered as jokers, i.e. they have the potential to represent any of the 5 active colors. These joker pieces are passive. They cannot be used to play with; they may only be moved as part of a stack"

@Zugzwand and @Richard, thnx for the clarifications. I had “joker” confused with “neutral”.

Richard, when you undid the last move, it seems I lost (perhaps on time?) although the game never appeared in my game list.
It should be my turn to play but I just got the message that I had lost the game.

Still not fixed. I was of course relying on him not being able to make that move.

Bump. I thought this had been fixed (I don’t begrudge the game, as I did not feel like I was ahead, but I didn’t think that move was going to end it).
