Turn

You might say: turn structure, end turn

One round of play: the player gives orders, ends the turn, and the world answers.

What it does

Is the unit of decision; the game's pace is how much each turn holds.

Ask

How long does a turn take, and how many of its clicks are real decisions?

What to look for

1. An End Turn button
2. A turn counter or calendar date

Parts

• Interesting decisions: Sid Meier's description of a game as a series of interesting decisions: choices shaped by the situation and by what the player knows.
• Turn order: Whether players move one after another, all at once, or in continuous time that the player can pause.
• Micromanagement load: The number of small repeated orders a turn asks for, which can grow with the empire.
• Events: Random events, helpful or harmful, that the game reports during play.
• One more turn: Each turn finishes something and starts something else, so there is always a reason to play the next one.
