taktbaserad

Taktbaserad is a Swedish term that translates to "turn-based" in English. It describes a method of gameplay in which players take turns performing actions rather than all players acting simultaneously. This contrasts with real-time gameplay where actions occur continuously and concurrently.

In taktbaserad games, each player or opposing force has a distinct phase or turn to complete their moves. This allows for strategic planning and careful consideration of each action without the pressure of immediate reaction. Players might move their pieces on a board, play cards from a hand, or issue commands to units. Once a player's turn is finished, control passes to the next player, and the cycle repeats until a victory condition is met or the game concludes.

This approach is common in many genres, including board games, tabletop role-playing games, and various video game genres such as strategy games, role-playing games, and puzzle games. Examples include chess, where players alternate moving their pieces, and many tactical role-playing games where players command squads of characters in turn-based combat. The deliberate pace of taktbaserad gameplay often emphasizes strategic depth and thoughtful decision-making over quick reflexes.
