Winner determined after Gameplay Ends

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.

Examples

Go and Bridge are two classical games where the winner is formally declared after gameplay ends by calculating each player or teams score; Puerto Rico is a more modern example. So are the games Amun-Re, Concordia, Dominion, Egizia, and Race for the Galaxy but here some information is hidden so players may not be aware of who the actual winner is.
