Games where the rules governing gameplay change over time from within a closed set of rules.
Some games have rule set that change during gameplay. These Varying Rule Sets can either be used to slowly increased the complexity
This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
Using the pattern
Optional Rules are one way to create Varying Rule Sets if the Optional Rules are somehow turned on and off. Games with Evolving Rule Sets also have Varying Rule Sets since the introduction of novel rules during gameplay guarantees that the rule set will vary during gameplay.
New Abilities Expansions Higher-Level Closures as Gameplay Progresses
Consequences
Varying Rule Sets can quite naturally give rise to Varied Gameplay, but dealing with a changing rule set also makes for more Complex Gameplay. However, with games that are intended to have Complex Gameplay, Varying Rule Sets can instead have the effect of providing Smooth Learning Curves and thereby modulate the complexity.
