-[[Collaborative Actions]] is one way to achieve [[Cooperation]] in games, although it [[Bidding]], [[Drafting]], and [[Trading]] shows it is not always the case. Further, observers may see [[Collaborative Actions]] as [[Cooperation]] where the people doing the actions do not, e.g. those excluded from [[Trading]] may feel those [[Trading]] are cooperating against them. When [[Collaborative Actions]] are performed they often are a display of [[Team Accomplishments]], especially when they provide new [[Abilities]] to players or can also be seen as forms of [[Combos]] done by several players, [[Avatars]], or [[Units]] rather than one. However, performing [[Collaborative Actions]] often requires the players to engage in [[Negotiation]] as an [[Extra-Game Actions|Extra-Game action]] and they also often needed [[Timing]].

Being able to coordinate [[Collaborative Actions]] is thus often a basis for [[Gameplay Mastery]] in games where they are possible, especially so in games where [[Teams]] match up against each other. A basic consequence of [[Collaborative Actions]] is to make for more [[Complex Gameplay]] simply because having to work together to do something that just being able to do it oneself adds complexity regarding [[Negotiation]], [[Coordination]], and [[Timing]].

They can be encouraged by [[Shared Rewards]] or [[Player-Decided Distributions]].

-[[Collaborative Actions]] require that the players are able to combine their actions, either to perform the together at a certain time or by having individual actions some people support other players' to do actions that otherwise would not be possible. When designing [[Collaborative Actions]] in games the following things have to be taken into account: how much [[Coordination]] is required between the players; how the outcome of the action is based on the precision and type of the [[Coordination]]; how are the possible rewards shared and in which way; how different are the actions required; and how is the [[Coordination]] is made possible as in, for example, [[Player Decided Results]].

 The individual actions that create [[Collaborative Actions]] do not explicitly need to be designed to do so since they can be achieve through [[Emergent Gameplay]]. But when they are wished to be more explicitly designed, they can be create to require two or more actions to be performed simultaneously or by requiring several specific game elements with [[Asymmetric Abilities]] to perform different actions. The first case can be instantiated by having several [[Incompatible Goals]] that have to be completed at the same time, for example holding several [[Check Points]] at once. Other examples of designed [[Collaborative Actions]] include [[Negotiation]], especially in the form of [[Trading]]. Ganging up is a form of [[Collaborative Actions|Collaborative Action]] that is typically used to gain tactical advantages in [[Combat]] but can be found in any [[Competition]] situation where players may decide to act together against perceived leaders, creating a form of [[Balancing Effects]].

 As simple way of achieving this is by making [[Team Combos]] possible. While [[Shared Rewards]] can be used in any game to encourage players to start [[Collaborative Actions]], the use of [[Shared Penalties]] can make the completion of actions into [[Committed Goals]].
-To provide more [[Complex Gameplay]], [[Collaborative Actions]] can have [[Delayed Effects]]. Besides requiring more [[Coordination]] this also opens up for [[Betrayal]] since individual actions can be hidden. [[Enforced Player Anonymity]] can likewise encourage [[Betrayal]] but also ensure that the actions are not based on anything not provided by the game. Making [[Collaborative Actions]] only benefit one player, i.e. making any possible [[Rewards|Reward]] a [[Individual Rewards|Individual Reward]], typically makes the agents that help fulfill the action to assume that it is a case of [[Delayed Reciprocity]] (which also creates more [[Complex Gameplay]]). As with any other type of actions, [[Collaborative Actions]] can be made into [[Extended Actions]] to provide more [[Challenging Gameplay]].
