Title: Does a player play out their turn in an endgame situation?
Post by: DooWopDJ on December 13, 2018, 02:58:22 pm
I encountered a game where a player said the endgame was as soon as a end game condition was met.
So for example the player bought the last Province, but could have bought 1 more Victory Point (an Estate).
This resulted in a tie (as it was an equal number of turns for both tied players).  Player would have bought an Estate, thus securing an outright win.
The clarification I am hoping for (can someone point to it in the Wiki somewhere also) is
- Does a player play out their turn in an endgame situation?

Yes, the rulebook says:

Quote
The game ends at the end of any player's turn when either:
1) The Supply pile of Provinces is empty or
2)Any 3 Supply piles are empty.

Just point the other player at the rulebook.

Wow, that came out a bit overdramatic, font-wise, but I'm leaving it.

In fact, it is possible to buy the last Province, and then not have the game end at the end of the turn, if a Province were returned to the pile with Ambassador.

I thought it was an awesome reply... because... there it is in plain sight and yet I could not see it.  Thanks for the answer though.
