The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
[hide]Examples
Example: In the roleplaying game Neverwinter Nights, part of the overall goal at the start is to perform a complicated ritual with several non-player characters. When the ritual is finally performed, it turns out that one of the characters doing the ritual is a traitor, and then another goal is revealed to the player: defeat the traitor.
Example: Many children's games, such as Tag and King of the Hill, can either be described as using Dynamic Goal Characteristics or having a static high-level goal with subgoals that switch from avoiding one person to avoiding another person (or being the hunter) in Tag and from defense to offense in King of the Hill.
Example: The card game Fluxx has the current winning goal represented by a played card. Although the game can be said to have the static goal of fulfilling the goal card criteria, the specific winning goal changes as soon as a player plays a new goal card.
