Skulls Anywhere Last Turn Deja Vu

I was playing through a Skulls Anywhere game and won on my last turn. Shortly after submitting the turn and on another Skulls Anywhere game, I experienced a connection error to Xbox LIVE, although I don't remember exactly what it said. Since that time I had been in a perpetual loop of finishing the Skulls Anywhere game with my first opponent and winning it each time. Rather than continue to play through the end of that match over and over again, I left the game allowing my opponent to win.

same here. The message says "Failed to send turn. unable to connect to XBox at this Time. Please check your connection. " That's in addition to tons of other syncing issues with other online matches. In comparison to other async online games, like outwitters for example, this game has a terrible & buggy online experience (despite other async games being free). I wonder if microsoft is going to compensate us for the terrible online experience we are getting despite the prime price we are paying.

Hey guys - just wanted to let you know we at least have narrowed down the type of behavior on the server that can cause. We're working with Microsoft to see if there's anything they can do server side to address it, but in the worst case when we release the patch there'll be better error handling in the game to avoid this problem.

Thanks for the help!

I am currently experiencing the same thing. After struggling to finish an online asynchronous game (because other players simply don't play their turn), I finally got to finish a game--and I won too!--but afterwards (after declaring me a winner and even giving me the Xbox achievement for it) I got the same error message:
"Failed to send turn. Unable to connect to Xbox at this time. Please check your connection."

Of course, my connection is fine, but this has been happening on a loop. On the plus side, at least I get to continue reliving my victory. On the negative side, it's a tad annoying and I wonder if this bug is also responsible for why no other online multiplayer games I've started have finished yet. (I've got 9 other ones going over the past 3 weeks and no one has made a move in like 2 weeks except for this one guy in this one game, and I got the 'loop' bug...sigh).
