Using the pattern
A Possibility of Graceful Surrender is typically added to a game to let players handle situations where they feel they cannot win Last Man Standing competitions or where they perceive a Predictable Winner. An alternative reason is to allow for Drop-In/Drop-Out by combining Possibility of Graceful Surrender with Late Arriving Players. The exact ways of letting a player leave a game without disturbing other players gameplay experience or game balance depends heavily on the specific of each game, but avoiding Kingmaker effects is a primary concern. Balancing Effects may be used to compensate for imbalanced that may occur when a player leave a game so this may help support a game to have a Possibility of Graceful Surrender.
Consequences
