I never play Civ with the intention of finishing, that's a rare delight when all the stars and RNGs align... I play to see what a beautiful mess my imaginary world becomes before I run out of free time.

Yeah and there comes a point where you know you can win, but don't want to go through all the turns to get there.

I think most chess games don't end with a checkmate, many games end when a player concedes because everyone knows the outcome and it's pointless to play it out.
