-[[End State Scoring]] makes it important for gameplay to know their relative positions before the end state as well as what possible points all players can add to their [[Scores]] during the final scoring.

-The main requirement of [[End State Scoring]] is to postpone the handing out of at least some points to players [[Scores]] until gameplay ends. The main design decision regarding [[End State Scoring]] is if people should have [[Imperfect Information]] or [[Perfect Information]] regarding the game state and how players can get points based on the game state. The former promotes [[Exaggerated Perception of Influence]] and [[Tension]] while the latter promotes [[Analysis Paralysis]]. For this reason, [[Imperfect Information]] seems to be the much more common choice.

-Some games end by a player winning, a player losing, or a draw is reached. Other games have criteria for when game ends and the outcome of all players are first determined then. Such games typically use [[End State Scoring]] in that all points are officially and publicly counted after players possibility to affect the game state has ended.
