''Games where the time duration of the entire game instance is negotiable.''



This pattern is a still a stub.

[[Negotiable Play Sessions]]
[[Negotiable Game Sessions]]


[[Negotiable Game Instance Duration]] can be supported by letting players set [[Time Limits]] for the game instances. This may be time measured by clocks (as in some variants of [[Chess]]) and may also be number of numbers of turns in [[Turn-Based Games]] (the [[Civilization (video game) series|Civilization]] computer game series supports this for example). 

A concrete but more specific way of creating [[Negotiable Game Instance Duration]] is to have [[Self-Facilitated Games|Self-Facilitated]] [[Meta Games]] that consist of games with [[Time Limited Game Instances]]. If the reason for considering [[Negotiable Game Instance Duration]] is primarily to let individual players have control over how much time their game sessions should take, [[Drop-In/Drop-Out]] gameplay is an alternative. This does however work against a feeling of [[Togetherness]].
