The premise, in the publisher's words

In Turnbound, you play a haunted board game where each session pits you against the trapped souls of other players, battling against loadouts left behind by other real players in asynchronous PvP battles. It’s a game of competitive inventory management, where every tile you place in your grid has a strategic cause-and-effect loop that ripples through battles and rewards those with foresight and creativity.
