Glossary Entry: Balance

"Balance" is a term used to describe how fair a game is. Poorly balanced games favor one side over another, while a well-balanced game gives both sides roughly the same chance to win.

It's not uncommon for developers to periodically readjust how their games work to keep things fair. This sort of change is known as rebalancing the game.
