Consequences

Game Over causes players to not be able to play. In practice this becomes Downtime if another game instance will start soon, as is the structure of quick games such as Coup or The Resistance but otherwise can force the former players to start doing something else. Unless Game Over occurs to all players at the same time in Multiplayer Games, it can create Unsynchronized Game Sessions.
