Board games travel well to the browser because their rules are already clear and their pieces are simple to draw. Here you will find classics like Checkers Dama chess board and Ludo Online Xmas next to tile games such as Sea Life Mahjong and cue sports in City of Billiards, plus a good number of puzzle and quiz entries filed under the same label.
Solo, versus a computer, or together
Many titles let you face a computer opponent, which is useful for learning a game without pressure. Others run in hot-seat style, so two people take turns on the same screen. Matching and tile games are solo exercises where the board is a puzzle to clear. Difficulty ranges from relaxed rounds with no clock to tougher modes where the opponent plans several moves ahead.
Rounds are measured in minutes for quick puzzles and up to half an hour for a full match of a longer game. Touch controls suit phones and tablets, since moving a piece is just a tap or a drag, and larger screens help when the board is crowded. If a rule is unfamiliar, play one practice game first and read any on-screen hints before you start a serious match. Switching between a thinking game and a lighter one keeps a longer session fresh.

Can I play against another person?
