It is true that it would be fewer lines of code with the same
functionality, but it's better practice to have that framework in
place so that any changes made in the future wouldn't break any of the
code accessing my class. Obviously this is a fairly simple game that
has a fixed set of rules, but I'm trying to cultivate good habits, and
I don't think that doing it this way is anti-Pythonic.

Unless, of course, anything I said is wrong, which is always possible.
If I'm missing a bigger-picture idea, I'd like to know about it.

Thanks,
