Add a turn limit; allow for ties https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=34371.msg433754#msg433754

Basically, I suggest that there be a turn limit for every game, say, 60. If after 60 turns no one has won, a tie is forced. Neither player wins. No one gains or loses score. No one gains wins or losses.

This would prevent those situations where both players have an endless Eternity loop, while also allowing for future anti-deckout cards to be introduced.

Nothing too major, but I feel it would be good for the game; things shouldn't be able to go on indefinitely (see: quanta cap, HP cap).

I think it could be an even smaller cap and have whomever has the higher HP in the end wins.

I'd put the limit closer to 65, just in case someone does have eternity, is playing a 60 card deck, and the last card in there deck is the one they needed to win.

I like that idea, actually. Still, people should still be able to deck out with 60 card decks, hence why I chose 60 turns.

Remember, a 60 card deck normally decks out in 52-53 turns.

I forgot about the 60 card deck limit.. so I'm now in agreement with your choice on the number of turns.
