Eliminate goals give rise to Conflict and typically Combat. It leads to attempts of Game Element Removal and/or Capture, and potentially Player Elimination and Early Elimination.
If Eliminate goals are at focus for discernible period of gameplay time, they can define Extermination phases while if players are given Symmetric Goals to Eliminate each other Last Man Standing situations occur.
Player targets of Eliminate goals run the risk of getting Penalties if the goal are completed, and for this reason Eliminate tends to generate Preventing Goals for those targets.
