You buy Inheritance and set aside the last card of a pile to end the game.

Last Buy phase of the game. You do not buy or gain a card, but the total of your Gardens points goes up another threshold. How?

An opponent gains Villa, plays Masquerade, and passes you a card while your hand is empty.

(Edit: Empty from, say, a bunch of Torturers or whatever.)

Then it wasn't the last Buy phase of the game.

This is what I was thinking of. The Inheritance Vineyard thread made me realize that Inheritance actually puts a card in your deck at the end of the game that you never gained.

Neither you nor your opponent have any cards in your decks or in Duration.  There are 2 piles empty -- Coppers and Curses.  There are no other supply piles worth $0.  How does the game end?  The answer is not 'resignation'.

Do you have cards in your hand?

Either way, you can Alms a third pile, like Estates. Alms isn't a Supply pile :P

Starvation.

For real though, your premise is unclear.  Does my deck include my hand, or do I have 5 cards to work with (say, KC-KC-Bridge-Bridge-Bridge)?  Do I have coin tokens (spend 11 coin tokens, buy the last Colony).  Do I have non-Duration cards set aside (return Horse Traders to hand, play it and buy 2 Poor Houses or even Prince of Workshops to pile out Silver over multiple turns).

You have a bunch of cards in your hand/discard pile. You have no cards in your deck.

I meant no cards in deck as in no cards anywhere -- so no cards in hand, Duration cards, Prince, Horse Traders, etc.  Guess that wasn't clear.  And oh, solutions I was thinking of (there are 2) have been mentioned:

                              Alms or coin tokens                             

EDIT:
I guess Borrow / Poor House also works.

EDIT2:
Would debt cards work?  (I still don't know the rules regarding Debt.)

Debt cards (with a $0/XD cost) would work assuming you only had to buy 1 of them to empty that pile and end the game.

Procession/Bonfire with some action that produces money/buys, or just money + Travelling Fair, or any duration that makes $ also works. Though you need to not have action cards available costing $1 more than Processioned cards.

First player to starve to death loses.

Also, all Debt cards except for Donate, though you have to end the game by gaining that card if it's City Quarter, Royal Blacksmith, Annex(Estate), or Triumph(Duchy)
And Overlord if there are no Actions costing less than 5 that can end the game.

Does no cards anywhere mean no cards in play? Because otherwise, I play KC/KC/Bridge/Bridge/Bridge as the only cards I have left and end the game.

Do we start the turn with 0 cards? Or can it be at any time during our turn.

Can there be cards in the trash? Feast Or on Tavern mats? Wine Merchant

You were ninja'd by a couple days...

Wine Merchant alone wouldn't work because you wouldn't be able to retrieve it from the mat without some other way of generating coin.

Buy Estate and use the $2 extra to retrieve it.

Also just read it before reading this lol.

Oh, you're assuming that Wine Merchant was just played so you have $4 to spend?  I thought it was implied that we're starting on a fresh turn.  If that's allowed, Embargo and Mining Village are also possible answers, or cards that generate lots of money and buys plus Bonfire.

Well, that's sort of what I was asking, how "fresh" is our turn?

If it is nothing anywhere e.g. start the game, but before turn 1 I take away all your cards and some of the Supply, then I think solutions are limited to things you can buy with $0. Which pretty much makes the only solutions Alms, Borrow, and Debt.

Also, problem says "There are no other supply piles worth $0." Not sure if this counts, but if you say a card can be "worth" $2, but only cost $0 due to Ferry, then Ferry token on a $2 or $1 cost. Idk, maybe just being semantic, but I'd still say my Village is worth $3 even if I have 3 Bridges in play.

Either that, or you get really semantic and say Copper is worth $1, Silver's worth $2, Plat's worth $5, etc. and buy out the Ruins which aren't "worth" anything cause they're not Treasure.

Yeah, most of that was already covered and clarification plus the intended answers are already revealed here.

it's actually possible to discard Champion from play.

So, how?

I can only think of one way. any others?
