Types of board & card games
Chess games
The chess games here follow the standard rules and let you play the computer at different strengths, a friend on the same screen, or online opponents. Several include hints and the option to take back a move, which makes them a good place to learn.
Mahjong games
Browser mahjong is the solitaire version: tiles are stacked in a layout and you remove them in matching pairs, but only tiles that are free on at least one side. Mahjong connect is a flat variant where two matching tiles can be cleared if a short path joins them.
Solitaire games
Solitaire is the card game people reach for when they want ten quiet minutes. Klondike is the classic, Spider and FreeCell add more planning, and Pyramid and TriPeaks are faster.
Sudoku games
Sudoku asks you to fill a 9×9 grid so every row, column and 3×3 box holds the digits 1 to 9 once. The browser versions here offer several difficulty levels, pencil notes and a hint when you are stuck, and most will check your answer as you go.
