 [[Game Over]] causes players to not be able to play. In practice this becomes [[Downtime]] if another game instance will start soon, as is the structure of quick games such as [[Coup]] or [[The Resistance]] but otherwise can force the former players to start doing something else. Unless [[Game Over]] occurs to all players at the same time in [[Multiplayer Games]], it can create [[Unsynchronized Game Sessions]].
