Ending MarketPlace
There is no particular turn at which a MarketPlace game is projected to end, any more than there is a projected end to most
real-world markets. Games end when the time allotted for play elapses, the colony pollutes itself into collapse or the system
crashes. (One player complained that due to the possibility of a crash, the game could end at any time. When I explained
(tongue-in-cheek) that this helped stop people from taking advantage of the last turn, he exclaimed "Ah, so it
is a feature.")
