The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
The opening moves in Board Games such as Chess and Go have been studied in great detail and are classical examples of Startgame analyses.
In the Starcraft series the Startgame is typically called "Opening"[1].
Anti-Examples
optional
Using the pattern
Examples of Startgame phases include Game World Exploration and, if that is not present, Expansion.
The design of any phase which is intended to be the Startgame phase typically needs to consider a couple of patterns that can cause problems. Asymmetric Starting Conditions and First Player Advantages
As a corollary to designing a Startgame phase in a game, the game needs other phases. A "classical" structure from Board Games is to continue to a more complex Middlegame and then a decisive Endgame.
Consequences
Games with clear and known Startgame phases can encourage Stimulated Planning and development of Strategic Knowledge regarding different starting strategies.
