Roles of Players
Most games have uniform roles for all players. In
chess and Monopoly, there is only one role for all
players. But some games have more than one role
for players to choose between. In Mastermind, one
player chooses to be the code-maker, while the other
chooses to be the code-breaker. The system requires
both roles to be ?¬? lled, or it will not work. Also, many

team games, like football, have di?¬? erent player roles
that make up the full team. Role-playing games, as the
name implies, have a variety of roles for players to
choose between. Players can take on the role of healers
or ?¬? ghters or magic wielders. These roles de?¬? ne

In addition to roles that are de?¬? ned within the
game rules, however, you might also want to consider
potential play styles as a type of role when you
are designing your game.
