The immediate ending of one player's turn due to a game event to start another player's turn.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

Rules for Turnovers exist in both American Football and Basketball to regulate cases where possession of the ball changes. Although Turnovers happen when one team scores this is typically not referred to as a Turnover. Being a fantasy version of American Football, it may not be surprising that Bloodbowl (both in its original form and as a computer game) also have rules for Turnovers. A difference here is however that several additional failure, e.g. failing tackles, causes Turnovers.

CrossFire: Rules & Organizations for Company Level WW2 Gaming is example of a Strategy Game with Turnover game mechanics.

Using the pattern

Turnovers is one way of enacting Turn Taking in games but one that occur as Penalties for failed actions rather than due to a deterministic process.
