Title: Turn after Donate?
Post by: Simon Jester on February 05, 2022, 10:29:01 am

Had a game with Donate, Hunting Grounds and IGG. After the IGG+curse piles were depleted my opponent used Donate to trash 3 HG:s to deplete the estate piles for the win - but instead I got another turn and won with 2 provinces over 8 estates. Why did that happened? 3 piles were out (curses, IGG and estates) after my opoonent finished his Donate "phase". Correct or bug?

The game only ends when 3 piles are empty at the end of a turn. If you emptied Page and 2 other piles during your turn, the game would not end immediately, and if you then exchanged one of your Pages before the turn is over, the game continues.

Similiarly, Donate happens after your opponent's turn. The next possible end of turn where the game can end is the end of your turn.
