Post help!

I'd like to know if there's any idiom or slang phrase in English used to express the idea of " game over".

Thank you!

Hey @sofia28,
Actually...game over itself is an idiom.
it means...finished, complete;
Eg. The chance is gone If you've signed the contract, it's game over. You can't change it.
