	''~~The~~ one~~-sentence "definition"~~ that ~~should be in italics~~.''		''Gameplay which for one player does not have symmetry with the gameplay of another player or that of previous game instances.''

	This ~~pattern is~~ a ~~still a stub~~.		Games offers actions and goals to players. When these actions and goals differ between different players the games provide the players with [[Asymmetric Gameplay]]. This can also occur when a player can have very different types of actions and goals between game instances of the same game.

The board game [[Vast: The Crystal Caverns]] provides each player with very different goals and actions, one being that of a dragon, another being that of knight, and a third being that of the cave in which the others move about. Other board games providing players with very asymmetrical gameplay include [[Ogre]] and [[Space Hulk]]. Both let one player control significantly more units than the other and [[Space Hulk]] puts time limits on one player but not on the other. A weaker example can be found in [[Memoir '44]] where the asymmetry consists of differences in types and numbers of "command cards" (and to a lesser degree units).
