Also known as TTRPG, tabletop role-playing games are tabletop games when you play a character within a set of rules. Typically actions are determined by speech and checked for success via dice rolls.

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.
