Turn-Based Multiplayer

What It Is​

Turn-Based Multiplayer enables asynchronous gameplay where players take turns at their own pace, without needing to be online simultaneously. This flexible approach allows players to enjoy multiplayer competition that fits their schedule and lifestyle.

  • Move-Based Progression: Games advance through individual player actions over time
  • Flexible Timing: No time pressure - players can take minutes, hours, or days between turns
  • Turn Notifications: Automatic alerts when it's a player's turn to act

Benefits​

  • Broad Accessibility: Accommodates players with different schedules and time constraints
  • Casual Engagement: Lower commitment requirement appeals to casual players
  • Global Play: Players across different time zones can easily compete together
  • Strategic Depth: More time between turns allows for thoughtful decision-making

Use Cases​
