I think games like seven wonders which is one of those where there does need to be a calculation of the score at the end of the game do this to avoid players feeling left out if they know they've lost and there's potentially twenty minutes of game left. The other way this is handled (and 7 wonders applies this too) is to make scores more swingy in the later rounds.
