Rivalry

Motivation competition

Rivalry (competition / dominance) describes the drive to measure against others and to win. Players seek victory, rank and recognized superiority.

Design question – Your players want to compete and win – how do you stage the contest?

Reference example – Valorant: after every match the game names the most valuable player of the round. Pokémon: the rival who is always one step ahead. Football: the top scorer knows exactly how many goals she has scored this season – and how many her competitor has.
