Question about Multiplayer Rules

Hello guys, this is Renke from China. I got a question about multiplayer rules.
Since China is a non-English region, players from China are a little confused about this rule:
“800.4. Unlike two-player games, multiplayer games can continue after one or more players have left the game.”

“Multiplayer games CAN continue” Is that means players can choose to continue the game or end the game after the first player have left the game?If they can choose to end the game, who’s the winner?

My opinion: I think this isn’t an option that player can make a choice to continue or end the game. If this is an option, this rule should be “may continue”.

Question about Multiplayer Rules

Hi,

Thanks for your question. All that rule is saying is that the game doesn't automatically end once the first player has been eliminated. If it said “may” instead of “can”, then it would sound like players can choose to end the game once a player has been eliminated, which is not the intent.

Thanks,
