Donate Hunting Grounds Endgame

[squirezucco]

At the end of #19733166, I donated, trashing 5 hunting grounds, and gaining all the estates and a few dutchies.

That left 3 empty piles. But the game didn't end.

Is this a bug, or does the game not end if you end piles between turns?

It's correct

The end of game conditions are only checked when a turn has ended.  Not at other times (either in or outside of turns).

Interesting... so, if you want to do a donate/hunting grounds end, you'd better be sure your opponent can't come back next turn (or return a card (encampment or ambassador).

Live and learn.
