My partner is unable to stop playing Snood, so before bankruptcy hits,
I'd like to write an Applescript that would force him to Quit after an
hour, (ideally giving him a 5 minute warning).

With all the talk about crashing with idle handlers, I leary about
experimenting with this one. The following ran OK until I tried running
while I was actually playing a game

Two issues While actually playing the game:
the game takes control of the Mac: unless the user types a pause
command, one can't access anything.
Typing command-Q (the only way to access the menu) just quits the
current game and returns user to main screen, the NEXT "Quit command,
quits the game.
