pawn, counter, token?
I found those these 3 words. How What do you call the pieces you move in board games? And are they moved on squares or spaces? Or are both words acceptable?
Notes:
- Great questions! It depends on which game you're playing :D
- You can call the locations on a board game squares, spaces, or even the particular names of the actual squares and spaces (for example, Monopoly has a space named 'jail' - in which case, we call it jail!)
- Each game usually gives a name to their pieces - be sure to check a game's rule book for the names - or search for the names based on the game!
