Except of course that that would make it completely boring to play, so why would you do that? This, I can't help feel, is kind of the point. It's the part of the game that's encoded socially rather than algorithmically that make it unique and interesting.

Yeah. Because that's what it is.

For board games maybe. This is a video game, a different medium, and it doesn't work that way. The player can and will do anything the game program allows them to do.
