The classic board games — chess, checkers, backgammon, reversi and more — on chunky 3D boards, free in your browser. Play the computer or pass the device to a friend.

Each game here uses the rules you know. Pawnstorm is standard chess with castling, en passant and promotion. Crown Hop is checkers and draughts, with English, Russian, Brazilian and International rules. Bearoff is backgammon, with long nardy as a second mode. Flipside is reversi, Five Stones is gomoku, Seed Bowl is Kalah mancala, and Box Claim is dots and boxes.

Most of them climb a ladder of levels against a computer opponent that gets stronger as you go, and most also have a two-player mode on one device.

Which board game should I play?

For deep strategy, try chess (Pawnstorm) or checkers (Crown Hop). For a dice game with some luck, try backgammon (Bearoff). For something you can learn in ten seconds, try Four Up (four in a row), Flipside (reversi) or Five Stones (five in a row). Salvo is the classic sea battle game, and Tic-Tac-Toe grows from 3×3 all the way up to gomoku boards.
