Flapping Mouths
Four Zen monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping. The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping" A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping" A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping." The fourth monk who was the eldest said, visibly annoyed: "Mouths are flapping!"

I guess I could be right to say, too, that that was a refreshing view.
(I couldn't locate the comment input form, at the linked page, though I was considering to comment there. Cosmic rays perhaps have hid it from my view, or it is a Karma chihuahua nipping at my heels again, or something other)
So I guess the "game over" in some situations is that there is no game, at the outset. Perhaps this has been not too much to say.
