Alternative choices are included so you can read every explanation.

The last bank chips.

The bank has just four chips left. The starter rolls four, so move those last chips into the stash. The bank is empty, but finish this round before counting the final scores.

Play the final round.

Continue the final round. You declare highest wins and bid two chips. The cards stay hidden.

Maya agrees with highest wins and adds three chips in this example. The stash grows to nine.

Noah agrees too, paying one chip. The stash now holds ten. Play returns to you, and you end the round.

Reveal. Then pay out.

Reveal the cards. Highest wins, so Maya’s ten beats your four and Noah’s Ace. She has won this round.

Pay Maya all ten stash chips. She now has thirty-two. You have twelve and Noah has twenty-six. The final round is settled. Now compare the scores.

Who wins the game?

The final stacks are twelve, thirty-two and twenty-six. Who wins the whole game?

Maya wins with thirty-two chips. The overall winner is whoever finishes with the most chips. Winning the last round only helps if your final total is the largest.

Does one empty pile end it?

Here is a different table. You have no chips, but the bank and the other players still do. Does your empty pile alone end the whole game?

No. One empty pile is not the printed ending condition. The rule says the bank, or all player chips, must be exhausted. Keep those two conditions distinct.

Watch the other end condition.

Now watch all three players use their remaining chips. Two from you, three from Maya, and two from Noah. Every player pile is empty. This reaches the other ending condition: all player chips exhausted. The stash remains a separate pile.

Settle. Then compare.

Finish the round and reveal the cards. Highest wins, so Maya’s ten takes the thirty-chip stash. Now compare the settled piles. You have zero, Maya has thirty, and Noah has zero. Maya wins the game. The bank stays separate from the scores.
