That's not a typo if you read the whole sentence.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a first participating player, team, or alliance is motivated to cooperate with a second participating player, team, or alliance by rewarding the first participating player, team, or alliance for assisting the second participating player, team, or alliance to achieve a higher score than might otherwise have been the attainable.
In actuality, the word "score" could have been placed at the end of the sentence, but it is far from a typo.

Sounds like more lawyer talk though...
But the point is made.

AND if you take a look at the images attached to the patent it is the 2003 game, which is no surprise seing as this patent was known about at least 6 months ago.
<I forget exactly who on CD found it (Maybe it was me, I don't know), and when I first saw it.>
