The Lens of Competition vs Cooperation

Balancing competition and cooperation can be done in many interesting ways. Use this lens to decide whether they are balanced properly in your game. Ask yourself these questions:

  • If “1” is Competition and “10” is Cooperation, what number should my game get?
  • Can I give players a choice to play cooperatively or competitively?
  • Does my audience prefer competition, cooperation or a mix?
  • Is my team competition something that makes sense for my game? Is my game more fun with team competition or with solo competition?
