Negotiable Play Sessions
Negotiable Game Sessions
Negotiable Game Instance Duration can be supported by letting players set Time Limits for the game instances. This may be time measured by clocks (as in some variants of Chess) and may also be number of numbers of turns in Turn-Based Games (the Civilization computer game series supports this for example).
A concrete but more specific way of creating Negotiable Game Instance Duration is to have Self-Facilitated Meta Games that consist of games with Time Limited Game Instances. If the reason for considering Negotiable Game Instance Duration is primarily to let individual players have control over how much time their game sessions should take, Drop-In/Drop-Out gameplay is an alternative. This does however work against a feeling of Togetherness.
