Classic games are the ones people have played for generations: card games like solitaire and spades, board games like chess, checkers and backgammon, tile games like mahjong and dominoes, and word and number puzzles like hangman and sudoku. Here you can play them all for free in your browser, with no download and no sign-up, on a school Chromebook or a computer at home.
Card Games
Solitaire is the most played card game on any computer, and there are many ways to enjoy it. Solitaire Swift and Daily Solitaire keep the classic rules, Golf Solitaire and TriPeaks give you a quicker game, and Spider Solitaire and FreeCell are there when you want a harder challenge. For a team game, Spades pairs you with a computer partner to bid and take tricks.
Board Games
Play 3D Chess or Master Chess Multiplayer to practice openings and checkmates. English Checkers lets you jump and crown kings against the computer or a friend on the same screen, and Backgammon, Reversi and Four In A Row round out the board game shelf.
Tiles, Dice and Strategy
Mahjong solitaire is a relaxing way to train your eyes: match pairs of free tiles in Olimpian Mahjong or Free Mahjong. Line up tiles in Domino Multiplayer, roll for the best combination in Yatzy, and hunt down a hidden fleet in Battleship.
Word and Number Puzzles
Guess the secret word letter by letter in Hangman, find hidden words in Word Search, fill in a grid in Web Sudoku and clear the board without hitting a mine in Minesweeper. These are great for a short brain break between classes.
Why Classic Games Never Get Old
The rules are simple enough to learn in a minute, but every game is different, so there is always something new to figure out. Many of them are also good for the brain, training memory, logic, planning and vocabulary while you play.
