Most games use a standardized and unchanging board ( chess, Go, and backgammon each have such a board ), but many games use a modular board whose component tiles or cards can assume varying layouts from one session to another, or even while the game is played.

Some games involve commanding multiple game pieces ( or units ), such as chess pieces or Monopoly houses and hotels, that have unique designations and capabilities within the parameters of the game ; in other games, such as Go, all pieces controlled by a player have the same capabilities.
