Goals where the objective is to prevent a completion of another goal.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Example: The goal of the goalkeeper in Soccer is to prevent the opposing team's players from score goals.

Example: The goal in Backgammon is to move each individual piece to the inner table and one can prevent the other player from achieving this in two ways: by hitting the opponent's piece when moving one's own pieces or by blocking the piece by placing two or more pieces on area of the game board. The first case directly affects the opponent's piece as it interferes with the game state (the position of the piece) defining the opponent's goal. The second case indirectly prevents the goal as it does not affect the piece but may block future moves of the piece.
