The best games with Variable Phase Order 2021
Looking for a really good game with a changing turn schedule? Then we've got just the thing for you: the list of the best "changing turn order" games 2021.
What are variable turn games?
Variable round flow means that the phases of a round may not be played in the same way as before and/or after.
Using Puerto Rico as an example, each turn is different. Depending on who starts selecting the roles and what roles they take, you may have to play the "set up" action earlier than you would like. In other games, you may be denied certain actions.
Differentiation from other game mechanics
Most games with limited action and all games without static game order fall under this "mechanism". Variable-player-order games are not variable-round-sequence games.
"Variable Phase Order" is also called "turn order changes".
