Games that are normally played on a table or other flat surface, such as board games, card games, dice games, miniature wargames, or tile-based games

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. This way, each player has the time to think about their strategy. TBT games rely less on action than real-time games.
