Risk Appetite

Habitus risk_seeking ↔ risk_averse · medium

Risk Appetite describes the spectrum between risk-seeking and risk-averse play styles: whether players seek high stakes or play it safe.

Design question – Do your players prefer to make daring or safe decisions?

Reference example – Super Mario: taking the easy way to the end of the level or the risky one where another star is waiting – the choice is the player’s. Yahtzee: scoring the safe points or rolling once more for the Yahtzee.
