	Designing for [[Enclosure]] goals are primarily concerns with what should be enclosed and what can be used to enclose. Typically in both cases these are (different types of) game elements but for the latter the goal of [[Enclosure]] influences the [[Game Element Insertion]] or [[Movement]] of these. Another concern is players should [[Gain Ownership]] of what is enclosed or if they should be removed through [[Game Element Removal]].

	The oldest, and perhaps best known, example of Enclosure is Go, the classic oriental board game, where the opponent's enclosed stones are removed from the board. Digital games also use Enclosure for capturing: in Taito's Qix game elements are captured and removed from play by enclosing them in the smaller of the two subdivisions that are created whenever the player completes a line between two parts of the game edge.

	The goal can be also be to avoid being enclosed. Classic examples of this the lightcycle game in Tron, where the players try to enclose the other player while not getting enclosed themselves. Nibbler and Snake are examples where avoiding the Enclosure lets players survive to pursue the primary goal of eating.

	~~Example: Loop~~, ~~by gameLab~~, ~~is an~~ example of ~~how~~ Enclosure ~~can~~ be ~~a visually very strong element~~. ~~In this~~ game ~~there are several butterflies~~ of different ~~color fluttering around~~ the ~~screen. The player's task is to~~ enclose ~~butterflies of~~ the ~~same color~~ by ~~drawing a loop with a mouse around two or more butterflies of the same color. The player can also enclose three or more butterflies if each of them is of a different color~~.		The oldest, and perhaps best known, example of [[Enclosure]] is [[Go]] in which completely enclosing the opponent's group when it has no empty space inside it causes it to be removed from the board. The board game [[Carcassonne]] uses [[Enclosure]] in a couple of different ways: the building of towns where rewards are not given until the town walls enclose the area inside; cloisters that have to be surrounding by tiles to give points; and fields that may be enclosed to guarantee control.
