Google Translate gives C'est ton tour. Is this what you would use, when telling a friend it's his turn in a game? To give an example, I'm playing a friend in Words with Friends (a lot like Scrabble) and I would like to say to him, "It's your turn".

Here is a couple of common ways to say it:
[C'est] à toi
C'est à ton tour [de jouer]
Dropping the à is possible too:
- C'est ton tour
Here is, as I discovered thanks to your very question, quite a localized one:
- Ça vient à toi (Marseille area only!)
To answer to your first comment, note that à mon/ton/son tour is an old "set expression".

1@ktm5124 The "à son tour" is a fixed expression. I'd say, for instance: « À ce rythme, ce ne sera qu’une question de temps avant que Sophie ne soit larguée à son tour. » === "Now, it's her turn to be ditched." Commented Oct 28, 2017 at 21:12

1"Ça vient à toi" is something I have never heard. Could this be a regional turn of phrase ?– GregCommented Oct 29, 2017 at 12:04

1@Greg You are right. Thanks! I never noticed it before but this is typical from Marseille / Provence (possibly wider Occitan area).– jlliagreCommented Oct 29, 2017 at 15:54

1The revised version of the answer might make the impression that « à ton tour » is no longer normally used… A new correction necessary? Or that was exactly the impression you were willing to make?– EvgeniyCommented Oct 30, 2017 at 11:56

1Je suis marseillais et je confirme que je dis "Ça vient à toi" :)– user3649Commented Oct 31, 2017 at 10:47
How you tell your friend it is his turn to play depends how close you are and how formal you want to be. From very formal to complete slang:
C'est à vous, chère amie!
C'est ton tour!
À toi de jouer!
À toi!
Quand tu veux, mon neveu!
Z-y-va, pose tes tuiles!
I was playing bridge online with a couple from Canada this morning, and they used "tu joues".
