! Game Type !! Player Tactics !! Outcome

| '''Finite''' || {{bg|green}}Both finite  || {{bg|green}}Magnificent gladiatorial contest. Someone wins, someone loses, but honour is kept, lessons learned, stories are told, legends forged etc.

| '''Infinite''' || {{bg|green}}Both infinite || {{bg|green}} Imaginative world-building. Collaboration. Hacky-sack, man!  

| '''Finite''' || {{bg|pink}}One finite, one infinite || {{bg|pink}}Infinite player picks up ball and runs with it (therefore gets sent off) or sits in a corner playing with daisies (therefore gets walloped). Finite player wins, but unsatisfyingly, by default, because the other player refused to play “properly”.

| '''Infinite''' || {{bg|pink}}One finite, one infinite ||{{bg|pink}} Finite player gets bogged down and gives up. Infinite player finds someone else to play with (hopefully an infinite player).

| '''Finite''' || {{bg|green}}Both infinite || {{bg|Yellow}}Players abandon game, which was rubbish anyway, and do something else (like playing an [[infinite game]])

| '''Infinite''' || {{bg|pink}}Both finite || {{bg|pink}}[[Interminable game]] <== This is what happens most of the time. Players argue past each other, playing to their own respective galleries, achieving nothing.
