Using the pattern
Game Element Trading requires Heterogeneous Game Element Ownership so that different players can own different parts of a game, with typical examples of tradable parts being Cards, Dice, Game Items, Miniatures, and the marbles of Marble Games. While the type of game element is a first design choice regarding this pattern, where these game elements come from is a second design choice. Game systems can provide them during gameplay through Game Element Insertion (e.g. through Loot) but Purchasable Game Advantages is another solution (seen for example in the booster packs available for Magic: The Gathering). Player Created Game Elements can also be used but risks crashing markets as the values of game elements can become very low if players create too large numbers of some type of game element.
