Construction/Scoring Phase Shift
Potentially Conflicting With
Negative Feedback Loops, Resource Caps,
Diegetic Aspects
Interface Aspects
Narration Aspects
Consequences
Ever Increasing Difficulty, Predictable Gameplay Time, Predictable Winner, Runaway Leader
For this reason, Positive Feedback Loops work against Player Balance and Team Balance (while Negative Feedback Loops can work for them).
