Board games

7 games

Board games are a back-and-forth contest. Chinese chess is about openings and mating patterns; in Gomoku you race to get five in a row while blocking your opponent’s open threes; Reversi rewards taking corners and edges; Checkers and Connect Four move at a faster pace; Tic-Tac-Toe and Dots and Boxes are good for a game of a few minutes. Every one of them lets you play against the computer, so there is no opponent to find and no board to set up. Open a game, make your first move, and start over with a single click.
