Playing out all the cards

[ontnagent]

I just had another good game, but i just wish it would not end early, i want a final score. I know I had lost from a couple of turns before but i like to play out all the cards, to see how close the win was.

Anyone else got any thoughts on that?

I agree- playing cards out to end allows you to see how close the game was.

I like the rule as it stands--the game ends when all the remaining cards are in a single row. Being able to end the game when it's advantageous to you is part of the strategy involved. I also think the marker-play must be pretty strange when there are so many markers and only two legal plays. (I also think a game gets pretty uninteresting when there are only two legal plays.)
