Some board games, such as chess and Go, use an adjournment mechanism to suspend the game in progress so it can be continued at another time, typically the following day. The rationale is that games often extend in duration beyond what is reasonable for a single session of play. There may be a sealed move: the next move that would be made is sealed in an envelope, to be played out when the game resumes. This practice ensures that neither player knows what the board position will be when it is their next turn to move.
