The goal of forming a spatial, temporal, or logical arrangement of game elements.
Providing goals which consist of arranging game elements according to some predefine rule are a common use of game elements in games where the game elements can be moved. These goals make players try to form a Configuration of the available game elements.

Examples
Example: The card game Illuminati uses Configuration for control groups, which can be spatially arranged to draw benefit of similarities in alignment and maximize the use of control arrows.
Example: Zendo, an abstract game where the winning condition is to guess a Gonfiguration.
Example: Poker, where winning rounds consists of having the rarest set of a set of predetermined Configurations.
