 Having [[Shared Rewards]] can form [[Mutual Goals]] between players, and is likely to cause [[Cooperation]] between them. It can also be the basis for [[Uncommitted Alliances]] or [[Teams]]. [[Shared Rewards]] can make both [[Alliances]] and [[Competition]] stronger, in the latter case by setting up the "problem" of having to share [[Rewards]] as a threat. They modify how players can claim [[Ownership]] of the [[Rewards]] and can become focus for possible [[Social Interaction]] between them.
-As [[Rewards]] given to several different players, [[Shared Rewards]] can serve to create a sense of [[Togetherness]] between them. This can also have [[Balancing Effects]] effects if the distribution by the system or players give the most best [[Rewards]] to the weakest players. However, if the [[Rewards]] are not easy to split evenly, they may cause [[Social Dilemmas]] and some players may need to take on [[Social Roles]] handling this. This become most apparent when [[Uncommitted Alliances]] are given [[Shared Rewards]] due to [[Tied Results]] as the [[Rewards]] then become [[Player-Decided Distributions]].

-''The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.''
+''Forced sharing of rewards between players.''
-This pattern is a still a stub.
+One part of the gameplay in most games is receiving rewards. When a reward needs to be split between more than one player, that reward becomes a [[Shared Rewards|Shared Reward]].
 === Examples ===
-[[Left 4 Dead series]]
+Winning is a [[Shared Rewards|Shared Reward]] in [[:Category:Co-Op Games|Co-Op Games]] such as [[Dead of Winter]], the [[Left 4 Dead series]], and [[Space Alert]]. Groups of player characters in [[:Category:Roleplaying Games|Roleplaying Games]] such as [[Dungeons & Dragons]] and [[GURPS]] often together defeat enemies, and then together need to share the rewards given for doing so.  [[Shared Rewards]] can be said to be given to groups exploring instances in [[World of Warcraft]] since they have to divide loot they receive, and only those in an instance can receive parts.
-== Using the pattern ==
+In [[Carcassonne]] one possible way to gain points is to finish building a town but all players that have the same claim to the town receive the same amount of points.

 [[Shared Rewards]] work against the presence of [[Delayed Reciprocity]] since it either makes [[Rewards]] be shared at once or have distributions set out in advance.
