tile placement
Laying flat pieces
Tile placement describes a category of board games where players take turns positioning tiles to build a shared map, landscape, or pattern.
The classic example is Carcassonne, where players lay tiles depicting roads, cities, and fields.
Success depends on spatial reasoning and strategic positioning: Tile placement games reward planning several moves ahead.
The term also applies literally to laying actual tiles on floors or walls.
