A player, 26 June 2010
Hi,
Claiming the Throne Before a player's turn ends this game, if the player, during that turn, destroyed a province in battle resolution, put two or more Rings into play by their own text, and gained 7 or more Honor, he may, as costs, discard the Imperial Favor and pay 10 Gold. If he does so, he wins the game.
My questions are: 1. Assuming the event's conditions are fulfilled, in which point of a player's turn does the victory occur? Is this his End Phase? 2. Is the event valid only during the turn it was revealed in a province, or does it remain valid through the rest of the game? 3. How the phrase "Before a player's turn ends this game" should be understood? Is this just a self-dependent "trigger" to which the event relates?
Many thanks.

Claiming the Throne: Assuming the event's conditions are fulfilled, in which point of a player's turn does the victory occur? Is this his End Phase?
"Before a player's turn ends." That's after End Phase (http://rules.l5r.com/CE_Sequence_of_play#End_Phase).
Is the event valid only during the turn it was revealed in a province, or does it remain valid through the rest of the game?
"This game" - the latter.
How the phrase "Before a player's turn ends this game" should be understood?
It's when you can for the "if a player" condition.
