 ====== Balance cooperation and competition ======
-The decision to cooperate or to compete can lead to different strategies. Players could [[en:patterns:team_forming|form teams]] in order to pursue a common goal or strategy which could be counterbalanced by a split in gains.
+The players' decision to cooperate or to compete can lead to different [[en:patterns:strategy|strategies]]. Players could [[en:patterns:team_forming|form teams]] in order to pursue a common goal or a common strategy. Team forming and [[en:patterns:cooperation]] could be fine-balanced through a system of [[en:patterns:reward|rewards]] (or penalties).
-A decision on if and for how long a cooperation last could be a one-off decision or could be continuously assessed. For example, teams or players could enter a temporary cooperation in order to eliminate an opponent.
+A decision on if and for how long a [[en:patterns:cooperation|cooperation]] lasts could be a one-off decision or it could be continuously assessed. Teams or players could enter a [[en:patterns:strategy|strategic]] temporary cooperation in order to eliminate an opponent and revert to [[en:patterns:competition]] afterwards.
+Player decisions on whether to compete or to cooperate are can be accompanied by awarding different [[en:patterns:player_differentiation|roles]] to players.

+=== Example ===
+Players with different [[en:patterns:player_differentiation|roles]] often possess different [[en:patterns:tool|game tools or game abilities]]. They might be tempted to cooperate in order to combine their abilities. They might choose to do so, for example, in order to reveal the position of a third player. In balance, this move could expose both of them to a danger or lead to a [[en:patterns:reward|penalty]].
+Games that employ a [[en:patterns:bluff|bluffing pattern]] place the players in front of the dilemma of whether to trust a co-player and [[en:patterns:cooperation|cooperate]] or to distrust and [[en:patterns:competition|compete]]. [[en:games:rebels_vs._spies|Invisible City: Rebels Vs. Spies]] is such a game.
