The likelihood of players [[Surrendering]] can be lessened by making it more difficult to judge who is the winner and thereby mask for players in the worst positions that they are likely to lose. Both [[End State Scoring]] and [[Secret Goals]] can be used for this. In contrast, [[Bluffing]] can increase the chances of players [[Surrendering]] if other players skillfully bluff that they seem to be in a better situation than they actually are (an important part of games like [[Poker]] and [[Texas Hold'em]]).
