	The prime requirements for [[FUBAR Enjoyment]] to be possible is to have [[Challenging Gameplay]] in [[Real-Time Games]]. Many patterns can be used to ensure that players are under pressure while dealing with the challenges: [[Attention Demanding Gameplay]] and [[The Show Must Go On]] are probably the most important ones since they deny players the chance to have control over when they should act, but [[Ever Increasing Difficulty]] makes sure that players that have proven able to handle certain situations are put in more difficult ones. [[FUBAR Enjoyment]] typically also makes use of [[Simultaneous Challenges]], which not only makes for [[Complex Gameplay]] but can require [[Attention Swapping]] (which even without [[Simultaneous Challenges]] can support [[FUBAR Enjoyment]]). [[Disruption of Focused Attention]], [[Limited Foresight]], and [[Limited Planning Ability]] all work for creating more chaotic situation for players and can thereby help make an unpredictable and overwhelming gameplay situation.

	While [[FUBAR Enjoyment]] is the positive experience of [[Hovering Closures]], it relies on players having [[Cognitive Engrossment]] and [[Tension]]. One reason why [[FUBAR Enjoyment]] is enjoyable is that it lets players feel that they have [[Gameplay Mastery]] and it can be argued that the pattern does make players have this since they need to play at their full abilities; another reason is that eventual failure can lead to [[Spectacular Failure Enjoyment]] since the situation was chaotic or very difficult to begin with. Regardless, games with [[FUBAR Enjoyment]] have [[Performance Uncertainty]] since players are forced to act in situations where not succeeding is a very possible outcome.
