I really don't get it: most games I play I lose at one time or another because the computer is smarter/faster than me, but this is the first game I lost because of bladder capacity.

I was up at 28,270 points, when I had to quit because I really really had to pee (I recently discovered that eating ice cream and using the 770 don't go together and I wasn't going to find out if this combination would work ).

I don't know if this is a good score or not, but the game is essentially trivial once you've tuned your mind into the proper pattern recognition. I once played a much more taxing variation on the pc, where it was up to the player if there ware any combinations left on the board and you got only a limted mumber of reshuffles. On the 770 variant, you just keep looking for combinations, confident that there must be one as long as the parser doesn't reshuffle the board.
