How many Rubies end the game when I play with an expansion or the Grand Bazaar?

Several posters agree and cite the expansion rule texts; the base rulebook does not cover this.

Six, regardless of the number of players. Mocha & Baksheesh and Letters & Seals set the trigger at six Rubies, and the Grand Bazaar variant keeps it. Without expansions it is five (six with 2 players). A house rule of 7 for 2 players was mentioned but is not in the rules.
