- The health pool is exhausted
- The game explicitly confirms defeat
Defeat ends an attempt or removes some progress. Loss rules determine the price of risk and what the player brings into the next attempt.
Design tips
- Explain loss rules before the player takes a risk.
- Help explain the cause of defeat and offer a quick restart.
