-The consequence of [[Game Termination Penalties]] are pretty obvious but designing them have options regarding what causes them and details on how they can be avoided or secondary effects they can have.

+The consequence of [[Game Termination Penalties]] are pretty obvious but designing them have options regarding what causes them and details on how they can be avoided or secondary effects they can have. They are typically caused by [[Death Consequences]] or [[Life Penalties]] when one only has one [[Lives|Life]] left; in games without [[Lives]] this may instead be the effect of [[Energy Penalties]] reducing [[Health]] or some other [[Attributes]] beyond a specified threshold.

 Since [[Winning by Ending Gameplay]] is a [[Rewards|Reward]] rather than a [[Penalties|Penalty]], this pattern is difficult to combine with [[Game Termination Penalties]]. Likewise, [[Fake Game Overs]] can seem to be [[Game Termination Penalties]] but aren't. However, they can be used in [[Unwinnable Games]] or those who have a [[Winner determined after Gameplay Ends]].
