Games that work anywhere
Every game here is a native browser game written for this site. It plays with a mouse, a keyboard or a touch screen, goes fullscreen with one button, and keeps your settings and best scores in your browser so you can come back to it later. Nothing is uploaded and there are no accounts.
There are card games (spider, golf and pyramid solitaire), board games against the computer or a friend on the same device (tic tac toe, dots and boxes, reversi, mancala), puzzles (minesweeper, 2048, tower of hanoi, memory, hangman), a dice game, and arcade classics (snake, pong, brick breaker, bubble shooter).
Each game page also explains the rules, the controls and strategy that actually works, with a short FAQ.
