Using the pattern
As its name suggests, a [[Middlegame] is intended to come after a Startgame and quite often before an Endgame.
Typical patterns signifying a Middlegame include Entrenching Gameplay and Complex Gameplay so putting these into importance is a way to create a Middlegame. Examples of phases
Can Be Instantiated By
Can Be Modulated By
Balancing Effects, Construction/Scoring Phase Shift, Gameplay Mastery
Consequences
Often involving Complex Gameplay, the Middlegame phase is likely to have Stimulated Planning that sometimes can turn into Analysis Paralysis. Like most other phases, it allows the development - and promotes the use of - Strategic Knowledge.
