A word to describe a task becoming "easier but more dangerous"
I need to find the right word for a situation I am writing. The idea is that as your score increases, you automatically gain more points on top of this. The goal is to avoid reaching the maximum, but as you increase your score, it becomes easier to accrue these points.
The phrase I currently am using is:
Embracing becomes easier over time, where it becomes dangerous and risky to try and collect more.
I feel that "easier" is the opposite of what I want, because collecting the points towards your score is easier, it's not what you want to do; making it more dangerous as your score increases.
I think the concept you are addressing is akin to acceleration, i.e., "In physics, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time." So specifically, positive acceleration. If I'm understanding it correctly, you're talking about, as @Lawrence pointed out, a game of Blackjack — but a very specific game of Blackjack, i.e., one where every card is higher/larger/of greater value than the last (as opposed to "standard" Blackjack, where cards could be bigger or smaller).
One possible rephrasing, below, substitutes 'increase of (rate) increase' and bolds other key terms on which the definition hinges.
[Accelerating Score]
Your goal is to get the highest score possible without surpassing the maximum, or you lose. Note as your score increases, the rate at which it increases increases; as you accrue points, you automatically gain even more points on top of the points gained.
