Skill tokens

[Sepiamemories]

I've noticed that players will still get skill tokens even after the last one is taken. For example, in a recent game I played, I took the last skill token. On the next player's turn, they got two skill tokens for completing two three of a kind potions. I don't understand how they were able to get any more skill tokens after I took the last one.

Rulebook:

"*End of Game*

During the game setup, you placed a certain number of Skill tokens into a “countdown” stack (see table to the right). If, at the end of any player’s turn, the last of the Skill tokens from the “countdown” stack has been taken, the end of the game is triggered. The end of the game is also triggered if, at the end of any player’s round, there are no more Potion tiles available.

The game continues, in clockwise order, until the player to the right of the First Player completes their next turn (so that all players will have played the same number of turns during the game). Even if the required number of Skill tokens have already been awarded, players can still earn more from the general pool, if they are able to do so."
