 Turn-based game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A turn-based game, also known as turn-based strategy, is a game where the game flow is partitioned in well-defined and visible parts, called turns or rounds.
A player of a turn-based game is allowed a period of analysis before committing to a game action, ensuring a separation between the game flow and the thinking process, which in turn leads presumably to better solutions.
However, when a particular player gains access to the game during his/her turn it is not uncommon to value the time taken by the player to make the move to improve the fairness of the game.

Turn-based gaming refers to internet gaming sites that allow for game play to extend beyond a single session, over long periods of time--often taking months for complex games like Go or Chess to finish.
However, when a particular player gains access to the game during his/her turn it is not uncommon to value the time taken by the player to make the move to improve the fairness of the game.

 Turn - Mark Gallear's Game Design Page
Turn systems have being commonly used in many computer games, even when the designer does not understand why they were done in that way in the original medium.
The game uses a complicated firing system allowing side hits on a tank turret on a vehicle facing forward to represent the turret being moved during the turn and lucky hits on lesser armoured areas.
This is frequently done in strategy games and this feature prevents the player from being overwhelmed by the game.

Lots of games are chesslike, but chess is fun and this game isn't.
As the game begins, the player assumes the role of this apprentice, Artemian, hot on the trail of a great mage who was last seen heading into the vast Ibrashim desert.
Modeling itself loosely after the Roman Empire, the game is set in a fantasy world where generations have passed since the unification of six principalities facilitated the pulverization of invading barbarian hordes, creating an empire ruled by a succession of high mages that has spanned generations.

 Master of Orion III - PC Preview - Game Revolution
Nevertheless, MoO III will play like a very different game from its predecessors (and from any other turn-based strategy game on the market).
In traditional 4x games, the player breezes through the early parts, but a single turn towards the end of the game can take as long as thirty minutes as the player attempts to micromanage each planet or city.
The game's most innovative feature is likely to be the way gameplay will change over the course of the game.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Greatest Turn Based Strategy Game of All Time Is?
The game's well-balanced, has a great story and characters (rare for a strategy game), and is incredibly addictive, but its biggest appeal is the sheer amount of stuff you can do.
Every real strategy gamer knows that Chess is just a game for little children who haven't learned Go yet, or perhaps various people whose brains are too damaged to play a strategy game where memorization isn't the key factor to success.
Start on the easiest difficulty to learn the game (most of the special rules and options will be taken out), then go up higher as you learn more.

 Roguelike Review - Topic 005 - Turn Based
One general advantage of turn based game play is that the speed at which the player plans, perceives, reacts, and manipulates has no effect whatsoever on the game.
Roguelike games are almost always turn based, like Civilization and Betrayal at Krondor, instead of real-time like Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Everquest, and multi-user dungeons (MUDs).
Many action games like to be able to jump into immediate competition with their friends and people on the Internet.

I have been toying with the idea of a turn-based, multiplayer, strategy game...
