In 1992, Diestel asked which topological spaces could be represented as the end space of some graph. In 2023, Pitz provided a solution to this question by giving a topological characterization of end spaces using a hereditarily complete special subbase. In this paper, we present an alternative topological characterization of end spaces, in which we employ a special subbase and a topological game. Furthermore, we provide several applications of this characterization: we show that every end space is hereditarily Baire, that $G_δ$ subspaces of end spaces are also end spaces, and that the product of end spaces is not always an end space.
