Just One More Turn - Turn-Based Games Deep Dive (Ep.72)

It's Turnbased Thursday Fest week, and Al, Sid, and Jack are leaning in hard. This episode is a full deep dive into the turn-based genre: what makes it so compelling, why "just one more turn" became gaming's most universal phrase, and whether turn-based has quietly replaced RTS as the dominant strategy genre in 2026. The conversation covers Football Manager as a closet tactics game, Worms as a gateway to strategy, the surge of roguelikes and deck builders, why indie developers keep choosing turn-based over real time, and the debate that will never die: is Total War turn-based or RTS? Come for the strategy chat, stay for Sid trying to wiggle out of naming his favourite turn-based game.
