@tvaziri This kind of thing shows up in board games a lot, and when the final, arguably unnecessary space is present (to place your cube on or whatever) the rules forums inevitably get questions from people who don’t understand why it’s there (“if the game is over when you get 8 fleebs, why is there an 8th fleeb spot??”)

That is a bit different from baseball where arguably “three outs” is a weird purgatory state the game can be in (until the next half inning starts), but I figured I’d mention.
