Subject: Mancala finish

Why does Mancala continue when one player has 25 points or more? Surely that is the end of the game... ?? Can it be implemented this way?

grenv: I agree. I just finished a game where I ended up having to play seven more turns because my opponent didn't resign (even though she should know better). While I always resign once I've been beaten, not everyone does. To have the game automatically end when 25 points is reached would be a nice feature.

UzzyLady: Froglet games could also benefit from a similar automatic end: there's no point in dragging the game on once the sum of the points of the remaining frogs is less than the point difference between the players. I've been playing a couple of 3-win matches that started in 2006, and an automatic end would have cut playing time by months.
