 [[Evade]] goals are [[Continuous Goals]] that are likely to cause [[Tension]] to those that have them due to the clear potential for [[Penalties]] if they fail. When the evasion has to be done against [[Agents]] actions, [[Evade]] goals are [[Preventing Goals]]. One such example is to avoid the [[Aim & Shoot]] or [[Eliminate]] goals of others, something which naturally make these goals more difficult. Another example is to avoid those with [[Capture]] goals - here the use of [[Privileged Movement]] for one or the other can easily make for [[Challenging Gameplay]].

 Creating [[Evade]] goals consist of providing players means of avoiding [[Penalties]] by doing [[Movement]] of [[Avatars]], [[Characters]], or [[Units]]. [[Evade]] differs from [[Conceal]] in that in the former [[Enemies]] may already know one's locations or [[Enemies]] may effectively be absent. One such example of absent [[Enemies]] is provided by [[Traps]], and in this case even gameplay [[Movement]] may not be necessary if [[Quick Time Events]] are used instead. Being the target of [[Capture]] goals already imply that some type of [[Penalties]] exists and that [[Movement]] is possible (otherwise, the [[Capture]] goal would be trivial), so this pattern can be seen as a way of instantiating [[Evade]] goals. Giving [[Vulnerabilities]] or [[Achilles' Heels]] to [[Avatars]], [[Characters]], or [[Units]] can be seen as another way of creating [[Evade]] goals which may co-exist with other [[Evade]] goals - here the evasion is done to protect especially vulnerable areas rather than all areas. However, not all [[Evade]] goals exist at the beginning of games. Instead, they can appear as a form of [[Penalties|Penalty]] due to failing with others goals, e.g. [[Scouting]]. Paradoxically, successful [[Scouting]] can allow players to succeed with [[Evade]] goals if the threat that needs to be evaded is known but isn't threatening to the players yet due to those players being undetected.
-Common [[Penalties]] linked to failure of [[Evade]] goals are [[Ability Losses]], [[Damage]], or the loss of [[Lives]] (or [[Units]]). [[Evade]] goals can seldom be completed in themselves, with the exception of [[Evade]] goals with [[Time Limits]], but can often be completed by achieving another goal: that of completing an [[Excluding Goals|Excluding Goal]] to whatever goals cause the actions the player is trying to [[Evade]] to be done. Examples of this include shooting [[Enemies]] that are trying to shoot one or deactivating robots trying to kill one. Besides being tied to other goals to be fulfilled, [[Evade]] goals can be [[Supporting Goals]] for [[Traverse]] and [[Delivery]] goals. [[Evade]] patterns often interact with [[Overcome]] patterns: there may be no need to succeed with [[Overcome]] goals if players can succeed with [[Evade]] goals, and vice versa. They also allow players to create tactics of offense and defense, e.g., accepting ''Gote'' or trying various gambits to acquire ''Sente'' in [[Go]]. Explicit interaction between the patterns can be designed by letting players have [[Evade]] goal until a certain other goal, e.g. [[Gain Ownership]] of a [[Weapons|Weapon]] or acquiring a [[Power-Ups|Power-Up]], is completed, and then let them strive for an [[Overcome]] goal. This can be used to create [[Role Reversal]] patterns, as in [[Pac-Man]] where ghost move from having [[Capture]] goals to having [[Evade]] goals if the player gets hold of a power pill.
