+Like other types of [[Rewards]], designing [[Individual Rewards]] requires deciding on what specifically makes up the [[Rewards]] and when they should be given. Quite naturally, all [[Rewards]] in [[Single-Player Games]] are [[Individual Rewards]] but they can be used for various reasons in [[Multiplayer Games]]. First, they can increase [[Competition]] or [[Conflicts]] by giving clear indications between the difference of winning or losing specific gameplay activities. They can also decrease motivation or make more complex [[Collaborative Actions]], [[Cooperation]], and [[Mutual Goals]].
 For apparent reasons, the same [[Rewards]] cannot both be [[Individual Rewards]] and [[Shared Rewards]]. However, [[Altruistic Actions]] can make [[Shared Rewards]] into individual ones if players can renounce their right to parts of the [[Shared Rewards]].
