The player with the most VP after final scoring is the winner. In the event of a tie, the tied players compare Gold; the player with the most Gold wins. If there is still a tie in both VP and Gold, the tied players share the victory.

End Game Procedure

  1. Complete Round 8, including final reassignments from Waterdeep Harbor.

Final Scoring

  • Quest VP: VP already scored during the game from completing Quests (already on the scoring track).
  • Adventurers in Tavern: Score 1 VP for each Adventurer cube remaining in your Tavern.
  • Gold in Tavern: Score 1 VP for every 2 Gold remaining in your Tavern (rounded down).
  • Lord Card Bonus: Score the bonus VP shown on your Lord card, based on the specific conditions it describes.
  • Corruption Penalty: Each player loses VP based on the number of Corruption tokens they hold. The penalty per token depends on total Corruption in play: 0 tokens = 0, 1-3 tokens = -1 each, 4-6 = -2 each, 7-8 = -3 each, 9+ = -4 each. (Scoundrels of Skullport expansion)
