Duel

Ludic Social Structure base_configuration · duo · competitive · individual

Two agents in direct opposition, the most intense competitive constellation.

Design question – Your game is a duel. How do you ensure that both agents feel they can win until the end? How do you prevent a “runaway leader”?

Reference example – Street Fighter: one against one, every move read against the opponent. Connect Four: two people, one board, no way out. Football: at a penalty, kicker and goalkeeper face each other alone.
