Board games

The classic board games, ready to play free in your browser. Think ahead in chess and checkers, race the dice in backgammon and Ludo, climb the ladders in Snakes and Ladders, or line up four discs before the computer does.

Every game has friendly computer players with gentle and harder levels, big clear pieces and a calm pace. Use a hint when you are unsure, undo a slip, and your game saves on your device so you can come back to it later. These make good board games for seniors and anyone who wants a proper game without setting up a board.

New to a game? Each one has a short how-to-play guide with the rules, a few tips and a little history.
