Turn-based strategy (TBS)
The term turn-based strategy (TBS) is usually reserved for certain computer strategy games, to distinguish them from real-time computer strategy games. A player of a turn-based game is allowed a period of analysis before committing to a game action. Examples of this genre include Civilization, Heroes of Might and Magic, Making History, Advance Wars and Master of Orion.
