In Ekö, the game ends when a player with a palace reaches 12 victory points (VP) from constructed buildings and captured Emperors. Players set up by randomly placing pawns and can swap their Emperor pawn before taking turns, which consist of an action phase (move, regroup, attack, or construct) and a reinforcements phase to return pieces from reserve, with specific rules applying for actions and placements. Victory is achieved either by reaching 12 VP or being the last player with pieces on the board.
