As things are now I'd suggest to play with end conditions like only 3 (4,5...?) players left with more than xxxxxx points or something like that. I simply think it's still way harder to plan such an end than our turn 80+x.

well, having played games that lasted over 180 turns, i think that it takes at least 100 turns to really show who can win. Last Man Standing games also take care of "did you really win"...

If you decide on a different victory condition, I'll happily change it. It's your game, not mine. So far I have chosen the "turn 80" condition because it seems to be pretty common. The server can currently also serve a "player has 125 planets for 10 turns" condition, where the numbers are of course variable, and "planets" can be any number form the score chart.

A "last man standing" or "3 players remaining" condition currently does not exist, in particular because it's hard to decide when a player is really out. It could end in a pretty boring chase to hunt down these stupid two remaining Bird Men cloakers if the Birds happen to be the fourth-last player remaining.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
