The End of the Game is an album by British blues rock musician Peter Green, who was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member from 1967-70. Released in 1970 (see 1970 in music), this was his first solo album, recorded in June 1970, only a month after leaving Fleetwood Mac.

The style of this album was a radical departure from his work with Fleetwood Mac, consisting of edited pieces of a long studio jam. Musically, it was experimental and free-form, with very loose or non-existent musical structure. All the tracks were instrumentals. Apart from Green's two singles from this period, Heavy Heart/No Way Out and Beasts Of Burden/Uganda Woman (recorded with Nigel Watson), this album bears no resemblance to any of Green's other recorded work.

It is worth noting that the bassist on this album is Alex Dmochowski, otherwise known as Erroneus, who also played bass on the Frank Zappa jazz rock fusion albums Waka/Jawaka (Hot Rats II) and The Grand Wazoo.
