Wait, just realized how to compute it analytically:
You got a chain of states from
2 to n+1, with losing state n+1,
the transition probability to go from k to n+1 is (k-1)/n,
and the transition probability to go from k to k+1 is the remaining 1-(k-1)/n.
Now write down the transition matrix P and solve PL=L, with L the terminating vector.
Might still be overblown but pretty confident that will work analytically
