What is a "grace"?

A grace in a game refers to an extra turn or move granted to a player, allowing them to take an additional action beyond what is normally allowed in a single round. This bonus opportunity can offer a strategic advantage, giving the player more chances to act or make progress. A grace is often given as a reward for a specific achievement or event within the game and can be used to help the player advance or catch up in the game. It adds an element of surprise and excitement, as players may not expect to have another chance to move.

Examples
She earned a grace in the board game to move again.
