Top 5 Online Gaming Sites for Board Games and Card Games

1. Games.com
Games.com is the official place to play many Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers and Hasbro games online. Their lineup includes Boggle, Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble and Yahtzee. They also offer traditional board games (Chess, Checkers), card games (Hearts, Rook), and arcade games (Asteroids, Missile Command).


2. BrettspielWelt
BSW is a site that offers the ability to play designer (aka German) games online. Games available include Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Can't Stop, Liar's Dice (Bluff), Ra, Web of Power and many more. This link takes you directly to BSW, but many first-time players will want to read one or all of the assistance guides available in "Related Resources" below, since the site is mostly in German. (There are plenty of English-speaking players to be found, however.)


3. ItsYourTurn.com
The thing that makes ItsYourTurn.com unique is that you only take one turn at a time -- so you and your opponents don't have to be online at the same time. Backgammon, Battleboats, Chess, Checkers, Go, Reversi and Sabotage (a Stratego-like game with some nice twists) are among the games available.

4. GameTable Online
Games available at this site include Battle Cattle, Cosmic Wimpout, Girl Genius - The Works, Kill Doctor Lucky, Sold!, Ursuppe, Witch Trial, and more.


5. Mind Sports Arena
Chess, Othello, Pente, and many other abstract games can be played here. A good place for fans of abstract games.
