All remaining models buried?

[PrimeEagle]

What happens when all your remaining models are buried? Does the game end? I couldn't find anything in the rule book.

[Ludvig]

Yes, just keep playing like normal except youcan't activate until unburied (I think there is one nvb model that can even activare buried). One of your models is bound to pop out at some point.

It can also be noted that the same applies if all models on one side are killed. You continue playing. Unless you are playing a special scenario (or set a time limit for the game), there are no "sudden death" conditions which end the game immediately in Malifaux.

For the record, the part of the rules that covers this is paragraph four of the Activation phase:

Quote

If a player has no models left to Activate, her place in the Activation Order is skipped.

The next paragraph says:

Quote

The Activation Phase ends once both players have Activated all of their models.

That has to be understood as ending once both players have no more models that can Activate.  Or, effectively, it ends when both players are skipped.

Nothing happens.

[PrimeEagle]

Does that mean the other player keeps taking turns and I keep skipping turns, until if/when my models manage to become unburied?

Thanks, that helps a lot!
