Having Shared Rewards can form Mutual Goals between players, and is likely to cause Cooperation between them. It can also be the basis for Uncommitted Alliances or Teams.
As Rewards given to several different players, Shared Rewards can serve to create a sense of Togetherness between them. This can also have Balancing Effects effects if the distribution by the system or players give the most best Rewards to the weakest players. However, if the Rewards are not easy to split evenly, they may cause Social Dilemmas and some players may need to take on Social Roles handling this. This become most apparent when Uncommitted Alliances are given Shared Rewards due to Tied Results as the Rewards then become Player-Decided Distributions.
