This section is one of the hardest to construct and maintain. Many, many war games (which tend to be the ultimate strategy games also) require such detailed knowledge of the period involved that a specialist is required to evaluate them to the level that Online Games Network requires before it will add to the listing. All submissions will be considered and are welcome, however a detailed description of why the game should be included in your opinion would be helpful. Meanwhile we have found that the vast majority of board games are best played on a board with a group of friends! The classic game of 'Risk!' for example has dozens of online implementations but none come close to being good enough for conclusion in this directory. Online Games Network continues the search however!.

Internet Chess Club
 |
By far the best online chess implementation we have come across. A modest subscription gets you access to the site and the chance to play all levels of players, including grand and international masters at bullet, blitz and normally timed chess as well as odd variations. Also lectures to improve your game, regular tournaments and a host of other features. Each players is ranked using recognised methods based on your results against others. There are vast chess databases to access and you can build your own as you play each game. Truly a wonderful site. Check it out for free as a guest using the free software provided for connection. Highly recommended. |
Ed's Stratego Site
|
A free site covering all aspects of this wonderful board game of strategy for (usually) two players. The site is simple, well laid out, packed with information and lovingly tended by a committed fan, if just a tad infrequently. But then how much new is there to add to a game that has been around since 1961? Other online Stratego sites do not measure up and although there are sites for playing the game online we have not found them of sufficient quality to list here. However, this site has links to all other online Stratego sites and is, as it states, easily the number 1 Stratego site on the net. If you play this game, you must visit it, if you do not play this game, its about time you started. |

Phatgames
 |
A free site which includes a multitude of java-based, single player games including many implementations of classic '80s arcade games and some single player adventures. Also sports games and multiplayer backgammon and chess implementations and some interactive support for Web TV users. |
Yahoo!
 |
Jack-of-all-trades but master of none, the Yahoo games section still deserves to be mentioned. It does have reasonable implementations of many games (such as chess, reversi and backgammon, card games like blackjack, bridge, canasta and other games like mah jong and even pool). It is free and the site is extremely popular and consequently suffers from all the frustrations that go along with that scenario. If two of you are looking for a quiet game of something then using a private table at Yahoo can be an easy answer, otherwise there is most probably another site offering a better implementation of your chosen game which may take some setting up but will ultimately be more worth while for it. |
