Resegnation is a fact of life that cannot be prevented by any rules. The best rules can do is put a sanction on doing it, and the worst imaginable sanction is an individual game is that you would lose. Which is exactly the idea, and thus has zero value as a deterrent. You will have to find a better solution for when one of the palyers forfeits (e.g. loses on time because he simply walked away).

The board is drawn in an unnecessarily much distorted way; many cells are very narrow, without reason. The 'arms' of the board could be made much wider, and all cells could be approximately circular. All edge cells could be of the same, minimal size, and then increase in size towards the center, the three heptagons being largest of all.
