       | That trivializes one of the two simultaneous games you're
       | playing, and then what's the point? (You might be tempted to say
       | "just don't do that, then", but players will gravitate to the
       | optimal way of playing, not matter how boring.)

       | My feeling is that you probably need some kind of separate
       | scoring system for the dot-moving game rather than have it be
       | just a binary end game condition and that scoring system needs to
       | reward either variability or risk.
