 ''The goal of defeating an opposing force.''
-Games typically provide players with many goals which they need to try and succeed with. [[Overcome]] goals are those goals where there is agents or other players that in one form or another can be perceived as a force that needs to be defeating. Typically narration or active actions against the completion of the goals are needed for the sense of an opposing force to be present.

 [[Overcome]] can be modified in several ways.

[[Timing]] can force players to have to try to complete [[Overcome]] goals at particular instances of time during gameplay and [[Achilles' Heels]] can provide ways to make [[Overcome]] goals either much easier or make otherwise impossible ones possible.
