This pair is a bit strange because 続ける is transitive and 終わる is intransitive (the transitive form is 終える). So 続ける has an implied object of "the game", thus meaning "continue the game", but 終わる has no object and so literally means something more like "stop playing" than "end the game". | This pair is a bit strange because 続ける is transitive and 終わる is intransitive (the transitive form is 終える).
