As soon as one player runs out of shields, the game is over.It's the placement of knights/shields that triggers the end of the game, not dukes.
Ooops, missed that part. About half way through the game I was wondering why the rules stated to watch out for the game end, as it may come sooner than expected... That would be why.
Thanks for that.

I'm not sure how you could only have three dukes on the board when you ran out of shields. Every time there is a group of at least two adjacent shields on the board (even if the shields belong to different players), a duchy is formed and a duke is placed.
Like I said, the fight was fierce. People didn't create duchies willy-nilly with just 2 knights left and right, but expanded the ones they already had to defend against aggressors or try to take over or take back the ones they lost previousely. So at any point in time, we never had more than 3 dukes on the board per player and sometimes even less than that.
