Game EndScoring · In 1 guide
Triggering the End
The end is triggered when any player reaches 15 prestige points at the end of their turn.
Finish the round — every other player takes one more turn so that all players have had an equal number of turns.
Winning
After the final round, the player with the most prestige points wins.
Tiebreaker: The tied player who purchased the fewest development cards wins.
