I've been playing lots of 4-board challenges and am pretty sure I'm occasionally seeing repeated boards, for example the one below.

Is this a known issue?

No, this isn't known.

I'm having trouble finding that deal in your recent challenge history. When did you play it? Was this one of the new challenge reward tourneys?

Just a 4 board challenge-a-stranger. Could try to find it but there's so many!

The second instance would have been shortly before the post; the first instance probably in the 24 hours before that. Annoyingly I recognised it the second time and still misplayed the spades...

I found only 3 recent stranger challenges that you played:

https://webutil.brid...106e-1774874148

I don't see the board you linked to in any of them.

Duplicates shouldn't be possible in stranger challenges. They deal random hands on the fly, they don't use predealt hands.

Sorry, they're the challenge rewards - low stakes. There should be dozens of them.

It just occurred again - challenge # 47857101.

I'm pretty certain I've played at least boards 1 & 2 before; however it's basically impossible for me to search properly in the web client.
