# 8. Turn Structure

| **Step**               | **Procedure**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Turn Start             | The designated player becomes the Active Player and the Turn Start event occurs. Abilities triggered by that event wait. Apply all start-of-turn expirations simultaneously, perform State-Based Conditions, then place waiting triggers into the Queue in event order and resolve the Trigger Queue.                         |
| Step 1 - Summon        | Perform the turn-based Summon Procedure in [Section 9](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/game-flow/09-summon-procedure.md), or handle a full Arena under [Section 7.2](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/game-flow/07-game-end-and-concession.md).                                                                                          |
| Step 1.1 - Mark        | Place the Marking Token as part of the Summon Procedure.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Step 1.2 - On Summon   | Collect On Summon triggers, choose targets and required modes, then resolve the Trigger Queue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Step 2 - Snatch Check  | Create and resolve Snatch Attempts from the Summoned Momon under [Section 10](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/game-flow/10-snatch-check-and-resolution.md).                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Step 2.1 - Post-Snatch | Collect eligible On Snatch and return-to-Owner triggers, then resolve the Trigger Queue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Step 3 - End Step      | Collect End-of-Turn triggers and resolve the Trigger Queue until it is empty. Then apply all end-of-turn expirations simultaneously, perform State-Based Conditions, place triggers created by those expirations into the Queue in event order, and resolve the Trigger Queue until it is empty. Only then complete the turn. |

8.1 The player taking the turn is the Active Player. The other player is the Non-Active Player.

8.2 After Step 3 is complete, including all end-of-turn expirations and every Trigger Queue they create, and no game-end condition is being processed, the opponent becomes the Active Player and the Turn Start event occurs. The first Turn Start is handled under [Section 6.10](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/foundations/06-setup.md); every later Turn Start follows this rule. Abilities that trigger from that event wait. Apply all start-of-turn expirations simultaneously, perform State-Based Conditions, then place waiting triggers into the Queue in event order under [Section 11](/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/abilities-and-game-state/11-abilities-trigger-queue-and-continuous-effects.md) and resolve the Queue.

8.3 If a rule instructs the game to skip a step, no turn-based action from that step occurs. Triggers already created still resolve.

8.4 After each turn-based action or Ability resolves, perform State-Based Conditions before resolving the next queued Ability.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://momon-wonder.gitbook.io/comprehensive-rules-1.0.0/game-flow/08-turn-structure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
