In some games [[Repetitive]] gameplay can occur due to the best possible actions for players make them recreate previous game states. One way of handle this is to use [[Repetition of Position Draws]], that is making a game end in a draw if the same game state is repeated enough times. [[Chess]] does if a position occurs three times while [[Shogi]] does it if a position occurs four times. [Go] instead has the 'rule of ko' to prohibit immediate recreation of the previous position after an opponent's move. This does however not avoid [[Repetitive Gameplay]] overall since several ''ko'' positions can together create endless cycles. This occurs rarely enough that few players need to care about this, but several [[Go]] organizations have ''superko'' rules forbidding the recreation of any previous game state.

=== Narration Aspects ===
[[Repetitive Gameplay]] can be difficult to combine with [[Narration Structures]] unless they are also based upon cyclic repetition, e.g. the story structures in the movies ''Groundhog Day'' or ''Edge of Tomorrow''. While [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] does have such as structure, the amount of gameplay available in each cycle makes this game not have [[Repetitive Gameplay]].
