If the first player busts, then the game isn't yet about to end! It becomes the second player's turn, and the score is still 99-to-99, and we're back in the original game state with the players' identities swapped.
I thought that the game ends after player 2's turn if at least one player has more than 100 points. You're saying that even if player 2 breaks 100, then player 1 gets one extra last turn? That hardly seems fair, for player 1 to get an extra turn ... shouldn't both players get an equal number of turns? I guess what this really shows is that I'm not sure what the ending condition is. OK, I looked at the official rules from the web site, and now I understand that Michael was right and I was wrong: after one player reaches 100, everyone gets another turn (except the player over 100). --Joshua
