Choose a game for your mood
For a patient contest of planning and tactics, start with Chess or Draughts. Ludo and Snakes and Ladders add the uncertainty of the dice. Ayo rewards careful sowing and counting, while Dara turns a simple grid into a contest of lines, movement and captures.
Learn first, then invite friends
Open a game’s rules before you start. Where available, computer practice lets you learn at your own pace; pass-and-play lets people share one device. Online tables use an invitation or room code. Check the game page for the modes that game supports.
A shared table, wherever you are
Game listings are open worldwide. A board’s style or cultural origin describes the game, not who can play it. Bring friends from different countries to the same supported online table, and use the in-game rules to get everyone started.
