That games have a [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] guarantees a minimal level of [[Varied Gameplay]] in that there are at least two distinct phases in them, not necessarily in what actions are possible to perform but what goals players have ([[Dominion]] being an example of this).
 Noticing when [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] happen, or causing them to happen when it's beneficial for oneself, is one way to have [[Gameplay Mastery]].

+[[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] typically occur in games with [[Scores]] where players can create [[Gameplay Engines]], but can occur in other gamers with make use of the pattern [[Winner determined after Gameplay Ends]]. The two phases typically match [[Expansion]] and [[Exploitation]] so the behavior of this pattern affects both those two.
 The possibility of [[Speedending]] heavily affects [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]], both in that beginning [[Speedending]] can constitute the phase shift between [[Construction]] of [[Gameplay Engines]] and gathering [[Scores]] and that players can use [[Speedending]] to shorten the scoring phase.

+''A shift in one or all players focus from improving their abilities to act within the game to gather points.''
-This pattern is a still a stub.
+Some game allow players to not only perform actions that directly increase their chances of winning a game but also actions that make it easier or more efficient for them to do so later. A [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] occurs when one player &mdash; which is typically then followed by the other players &mdash;  moves from the latter types of actions to the former.
