In Dominion, a sign of a Construction/Scoring Phase Shift is that players begin investing in "province" score cards rather than other cards. In Race for the Galaxy, consistent use by a player of the "Consume: 2x VPs" action can be a sign of a shift in building an efficient deck to focusing on gathering points. Another sign in this game can be players that build in both the "develop" and "settle" phases when possible to gain the points on the placed cards.
Using the pattern
Construction/Scoring Phase Shift typically occur in games with Scores where players can create Gameplay Engines, but can occur in other gamers with make use of the pattern Winner determined after Gameplay Ends.
The possibility of Speedending heavily affects Construction/Scoring Phase Shift, both in that beginning Speedending can constitute the phase shift between Construction of Gameplay Engines and gathering Scores and that players can use Speedending to shorten the scoring phase.
Consequences
Construction/Scoring Phase Shift affect how Gameplay Engines and Positive Feedback Loops work in games by creating transitions points from when building Gameplay Engines are beneficial to when maximizing Scores are important. Since this in practice is one type of Endgame, the pattern also modulates when a Endgame begins.
Noticing when Construction/Scoring Phase Shift happen, or causing them to happen when it's beneficial for oneself, is one way to have Game Mastery.
