Three Basic Game Types Domination-positive - Games where winning leads to winning. Chess and Stratego are example domination games because the side with the advantage usually is able to leverage the advantage to create more advantages. Most wargames, games where opposing player pieces are "eliminated" are domination games.Domination-neutral - Games where winning creates no leverage for increasing the advantage of the winning side. Many sports are like this - ie, leading in scoring creates no inherent advantage in future scoring.Domination-limiting - Games where winning leads to losing, or where taking a lead makes it difficult to progress to winning. Sorry, Aggravation, Parchesi and many multi-player games are like this, where as you start taking a lead toward winning, your continued progress to finish off the win becomes more and more difficult, often allowing come-from-behind victories to be the norm.Obviously, this is only one of many ways to categorize games. Why I've made this division will hopefully become clear in future blogs.
