-This pattern is a still a stub.
+In many cases, players do not have complete information regarding resources that exist in games. These resources are [[Secret Resources]] in one sense or another due to this until all players have been provided the information.

+[[Secret Resources]] are constructed by introducing [[Imperfect Information]] or [[Uncertainty of Information]] regarding [[Resources]]. This may be through their placement and diegetic knowledge about them in [[Game Worlds]] or about abstract [[Resources]]. Providing [[Fog of War]] that covers [[Resources]] is one way of doing the former while having [[Hands]] of [[Cards]] is one way of doing the latter. Enabling players to having knowledge about [[Secret Resources]] is one way to provide [[Privileged Abilities]] in games.

+[[Secret Resources]] make players have [[Limited Planning Ability]] and give them [[Gain Information]] and [[Game World Exploration]] goals as long as they are at least aware of that they might exist. They may constitute [[Easter Eggs]] in [[Game Worlds]], although not distinct ones unless the [[Resources]] they constitute are very rare or unique. [[Secret Resources]] can create [[Asymmetric Information]] as long as some players have knowledge about them but others do not.
