Turn-based Strategy
A turn-based strategy (TBS) game is a strategy game (usually some type of wargame, especially a strategic-level wargame) where players take turns when playing. This is distinguished from real-time strategy (RTS), in which all players play simultaneously. Examples Board games Many board games are turn based, such as chess, Reversi, checkers, Hare games, and Go, as well as many modern board games. Turn-based tactics Turn-based tactical game-play is characterized by the expectation of players to complete their tasks by using the combat forces provided to them, and usually by the provision of a realistic (or at least believable) representation of military tactics and operations. Tactical role-playing games are a part of this genre. Examples include '' Fire Emblem'', '' The Battle for Wesnoth'', '' Poxnora'', '' Silent Storm'', '' Steel Panthers: World at War!'', ''King's Bounty'', '' Great Big War Game'', '' Nintendo Wars'', '' UniWar'', '' XCOM 2'' and '' Chessaria: The ...
