@JT: Yes, you could. You need a matchbox for each possible combination of fingers on the players' hands, an beads in each box for each move that could be made in that position.

When I have some time, I'll have a go a write a javascript version of it...

@Matthew: where do you buy your matchboxes at? Because I need 1296 and the best deal I have found is 1300 for $147.57 two packs of 500 for $49.65 each and three packs of 100 for $16.09 each.

@JT: I bought "craft matchboxes" (without the matches inside), but it looks like your bulk normals ones work out cheapers.

@Matthew: would it still work with the "roll over" rule? or would that just make it run out?
