-Competition as a {{tagpage>weak_pattern&dynamic}} allows players to decide during the game on the basis of some [[en:patterns:strategy]] they have devised. The possibility of **cooperation** might also be just implied by the use of another pattern such as the [[en:patterns:balance_cooperation_and_competition|balance cooperation and competition pattern]] or any of the {{tagpage>interaction_between_players&dynamic}} patterns.

+In a simple and effective form, **competition** could take the archetypical form of a race. Two or more competitors, who might be [[en:patterns:team_forming|teams]], try to reach the same [[en:patterns:spatial_structure|location]] (commonly used in [[en:patterns:street_games|street games]]). The race pattern could be accompanied by player [[en:patterns:player_differentiation|roles]] (e.g. cops and robbers).
-Competition is related with the achievement of a specific [[en:patterns:player_goals|goal]], like meeting the [[en:patterns:ending_condition]] first, or reaching the highest [[en:patterns:score]].
