SKIP A TURN' SKIP A TURN is a term used in many board games, card games, and other types of games. It means that a player's turn is skipped and the next player takes their turn. This can be done voluntarily or involuntarily, depending on the rules of the game. In some games, it is a strategic move to skip a turn in order to gain an advantage over other players. In other games, it may be necessary to skip a turn due to certain circumstances, such as when a player has no legal moves.
