I'll gradually be adding to this list of boardgames and where to play them online or where to get programs to
play against the computer. If you want to make suggetions for links that I can add let me know. Equally,
if you think I have made available any copyright work without permission please contact me.
I'll usually be playing these games under the name darkmuse. See you there.

Pay Sites
Game Table Online
I haven't tried the Game Table Online site yet, but they seem to be adding new games pretty regularly. They also offer a couple of weeks free trial after which you have to pay $10 per month. I'm not sure if they pass on any of that money to the inventors of the games. Check it out for yourself, and let me know what its like.Sites I need to check out and categorise
- Games.com - Official site for playing Hasbro games online
- BrettspielWelt - One of the games sites on the web. The only reason its uncategorised down here is that it deserves its own section due to its whole metagame setup. You can play most modern German games at BSW
- ItsYourTurn.com - Play abstract and traditional games turn by turn here. This used to be the place I played Go until the site had some issues and started losing games! It may well be better now
- Mind Sports Arena - Another place to play traditional games online. Again I am yet to even attempt to use this site so I cannot pass judgment.
- lots of boardgame bookmarks - There are almost too many links here. Hopefully my page will turn out better. Eventually...
