Sacrificing

Activity flexible

Deliberately giving up something valuable to gain a greater advantage elsewhere.

Design question – Your agents face painful decisions – what sacrifices are there in your game?

Reference example – Lemmings: one lemming blows itself up so the others can get through. Magic: The Gathering: sacrificing a creature to trigger a powerful effect. Football: the tactical foul – accepting a yellow card to stop a counter-attack.

Motivations

• Challenge (MOT-01) – Making the hard decision.
