	~~This pattern is~~ a ~~still a stub~~.		Lives are used in some games to allow players to fail a couple of times before the game session or game instance terminates, i.e. they can fail as long as they have lives left. [[Life Penalties]] are penalties given to players that remove one of these lives and thereby move players closer to having their gameplay end.
