Aquatica
When a character or location deck runs out, does the game end when the last card is drawn, or only when a card is needed and none is left?
The designer confirmed this several times, and the rulebook names both decks as end triggers.

The end is triggered as soon as the last card leaves the deck and goes out to the market. It does not wait until a card is needed, and cards already in the market no longer count as deck. The same applies to the character and location decks. As with any end trigger, every player then takes one more turn.
