 Creating [[Connection]] goals require decisions regarding which game elements need to have connection with what other game elements or parts of the [[Game Worlds|Game World]]. [[Alignment]] and [[Enclosure]] are more specific types of [[Connection]] goals while [[Traverse]] goals can result in [[Connection]] goals being met if they relate to the same game elements. Another aspect of designing [[Connection]] goals is deciding what happens when the goal is met. One common effect is to [[Eliminate]] what is connected. Another, more uncommon, is to transfer momentum to make [[Herd]] goals possible to succeed with.
-[[Connection]] goals can be made to fulfill [[Area Control]] or [[Capture]] goals, which in turn may lead to succeeding with [[Gain Ownership]] goals. If players have to choose which game element to connect to, or several players have a [[Races|Race]] to be the first to connect to a game element, [[Connection]] goals create [[Incompatible Goals]].
