-This pattern is a still a stub.
+The relative position in games can change during gameplay and in many games players can have a certain awareness of their position. [[Speedending]] occurs in games where not only players can know (or believe to know) that their position is that of the leader but can also influence the game to end sooner to avoid the risk of other overtaking them.

@@ Line 22: / Line 22: @@
 Being able to do [[Speedending]] in a game relies on players being able to judge their own position in relation to others, and that when they judge themselves leaders that they can influence the game to end. In addition, [[Speedending]] assumes [[Winner determined after Gameplay Ends]] since if one is able to end the game by winning players will simply be more focused on winning instead of ending the game as quickly as possible (even if they may be performing the exact same actions).
-[[Game State Overviews]], [[Predictable Consequences]], [[Predictable Winner]],
+[[Game State Overviews]], [[Predictable Consequences]], [[Predictable Winner]], and [[Score Tracks]] are all ways of letting players know their relative position. In contrast to these rather direct means of satisfying the first condition for [[Speedending]], means of letting players influence when a game ends are less precise. One typical construct is tying the [[Complete Resource Depletion]] of particular [[Resources|Resource]], e.g. "province" cards in [[Dominion]], to the game ending and providing player actions that consume the [[Resources|Resource]].
