I've been playing a few games of Pah Tum lately. As a recent game was nearing the end (there were no more scoring possibilities, just about 7 or 8 spots left to be filled)and it seemed light a big waste of time. Neither player had any more possible combinations of earning any more points. It was mathematically impossible. But as per the rules of the game, play continues until all spaces on the board are filled.
What are the chances of getting the computer to automatically end the game when there's no longer a chance of any more points being scored? Therefore, when the game is technically, it will also become physically and officially over.
