Last Card

Can someone explain to me why this happens: Both players are trying for the pile; it gets down to the end; one player lays down his melds (but does not go out); One card is left in stack; all 4 red threes are shown; then when the player gets his/her turn, it says game over (or something to the such), hit continue; the other player never gets to draw the last card or lay down what they have. This does not happen everytime so I know I'm missing something. It also has nothing to do with a table setting. I know its something simple but somehow I'm missing it.
Thanks for anyone's help.

I believe the question by HolidayCheer and sam85 to be two different issues. The first by Holiday Cheer suggests a possible glitch in the game and was answered by webmaster requesting details so they can investigate.
The other by sam85 is addressing game strategy. If you get into a pile war those last cards are very important.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
