How can I say "player one's turn" without " 's "?
I am developing a game where players can switch turns (like in chess). I need a message displayed to indicate the beginning of next player's turn, for example "Superman's turn", "Mario's turn" etc., where "Superman" and "Mario" are just the examples of players' nicknames, can be "player one's turn" as well.
I wondered if there is a way to write something like "It's Godzilla's turn" without " 's ", maybe "It is the turn of Godzilla"? =)
P.S. I need it because of the game context - it will be easier for me to change it within different stories if I knew how to write it another way correctly. Of course, I am also just curious about the solution.

Well, of course you COULD say "the turn of player one", but I'll say: this does sound a bit extended, but there's nothing wrong with it; sure! But people will probably ask themselves: "Why didn't they just say 'player one's turn'?
Just take note that nobody would really say this in colloquial, everyday speech. It's not as quick as using the " 's ". :D
