Simulating currency, resources, production, and goods. Often containing elements of strategy

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.

A turn-based game mechanic is the opposite of a real-time game mechanic. In a Turn-By-Turn mechanic (synonym), each player has to wait for the other to have played, so that they can play, and so on. This way, each player has the time to think about their strategy. TBT games rely less on action than real-time games.
