The Lens of Triangularity

Giving a player the choice to play it safe for a low reward, or to take a risk for a big reward is a great way to make your game interesting and exciting. To use this lens, ask yourself these questions:

• Do I have triangularity now? If not, how can I get it?
• Is my attempt at triangularity balanced? That is, are the rewards commensurate with the risks?
