6. Goals of arrangement • Collection • “completion of several goals that together form a coherent unit” • CD includes: alignment, delivery, enclosure, herd, configuration, contact, connection

7. Goals of persistence • Guard • “hinder other players or game element from accessing a particular area in the game or a particular game element” • Survive • “avoid being killed by actions of other players and events in the game” • Traverse • “try and move a game element from one position in the game to another” • CD: king of the hill, last man standing

8. Goals of information and knowledge • Gain information • “perform actions in the game in order to be able to receive information or make deductions” • Gain competence • “gaining the ability to perform a certain action within the game” • Exploration • “learning layout of the Game World, or location specific parts or objects in it” • CD: reconnaissance

9. Qs • Name one game, which includes all of these goals. • Are there games without goals? • What kind of goals are your favorite ones?
