Since this in practice is one type of [[Endgame]], the pattern also modulates when a [[Middlegame]] end and an [[Endgame]] begins. That games have a [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] guarantees a minimal level of [[Varied Gameplay]] in that there are at least two distinct phases in them, not necessarily in what actions are possible to perform but what goals players have ([[Dominion]] being an example of this).

[[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] typically occur in games with [[Scores]] where players can create [[Gameplay Engines]], but can occur in other gamers with make use of the pattern [[Winner determined after Gameplay Ends]]. The two phases typically match [[Expansion]] and [[Exploitation]] so the behavior of this pattern affects both those two.

	~~This pattern~~ is ~~a still a stub~~.		Some game allow players to not only perform actions that directly increase their chances of winning a game but also actions that make it easier or more efficient for them to do so later. A [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] occurs when one player — which is typically then followed by the other players — moves from the latter types of actions to the former.

	=== Examples ===		=== Examples ===
			In [[Dominion]], a sign of a [[Construction/Scoring Phase Shift]] is that players begin investing in "province" score cards rather than other cards. In [[Race for the Galaxy]], consistent use by a player of the "Consume: 2x VPs" action can be a sign of a shift in building an efficient deck to focusing on gathering points. Another sign in this game can be players that build in both the "develop" and "settle" phases when possible to gain the points on the placed cards.
