Games where the winner(s) are determined after gameplay ends.

Many games give players to goal to win them against other players or against the game system. While some do this by giving goals that result in winning and ending games, others make players invest their efforts in various ways and only after some criteria has cause gameplay to end reveal or calculate who actually won (if anybody). The latter type of games make use of the pattern Winner determined after Gameplay Ends.
