Sorry to break the news to you, but what you describe is a synchronization problem when you played your bomb. I guess @felix can confirm: tichu.one is not a server based application. The four player apps communicate with each other to synchronize each move. Now here is the catch: what happens if it is player's A turn. A plays a card and at the same time player B plays his bomb before receiving player A's move? A synchronization error occurs because player B from his point of view played the bomb before player A. But when B's move reaches the phone of player A. A's move already happend and a bomb can no longer be played before the move...
Network latency or temporary reconnects between apps increase the risk of bomb synchronization issues to occur even further.
Based on my observation problems with bombs played are causing most of the "wait 10 seconds .. round needs to be restarted" issues we encounter in this app.
Can you exploit this? I guess, to some extend yes. You have to time playing your bomb with the move of another player. Converting a certain tichu win of your opponents to a redeal of all cards is an advantage. But you have to guess the correct timing and then there are still network transmition times, etc. So you can try but still need some luck to make it happen and with a bomb you have a high chance to defeat a tichu within the rules and this will normally give more points then a redeal ...
But back to your example: you played the bomb yourself and most probably uhrensohn played his turn at the same time and then the behavior you describe happens.
