About

This is a month-long game jam geared around turn-based tactics and strategy games.

Create your own original system designed to run turn-based tactics and strategy games.

Turn-Based Tactics is a  genre of strategy games that through stop-action simulates the considerations and circumstances of operational warfare and military tactics in generally small-scale confrontation.

Turn-Based Strategy is a genre of strategy game where players take turns when playing rather than going at the same time. 

Things You Can Do

• Brainstorm, outline, and work on concept art before the jam begins, but please keep the final assets and game creation to the one-month jam period!
• Work solo or in a team! Use the hashtag #TBTJam or #TBSJam on Twitter or the jam's community here on itch.io to look for collaborators if you'd like to form a team.
• Make use of premade and paid assets in your project is also allowed, provided you use them according to the creator's terms.
• Submit unfinished work if you feel comfortable sharing it; you don't have to submit a perfectly polished project and are welcome to show off whatever you create as a prototype or proof-of-concept, whether it's an unfinished demo or a collection of assets you were able to create during the jam.

Feel free to tweet your development progress at #TBTJam or #TBSJam

This is open to both pen & paper games, as well as LARPs and games played electronically.
