In this game between QC and I, I used Computer in the last turn. QC shared it and merged and activated Software. He first scored a 10, then merged a 10, Globalization, and when he tried to draw and meld another 10, he actually drew an 11 and caused me to win by score. However, at the point of his melding Globalization, he could actually win by achieving Empire. Although I won this game, I wonder whether this is the rule of the game, and when exactly is Empire determined?
