Free board games online save you the setup and the lost pieces. The rules are the ones you learned at home, and the computer keeps track of every count and move. Most of the games in this category play on a phone.
Backgammon Classic is the old race game with two dice, where you bring all fifteen checkers home and bear them off before your opponent. A single checker left alone on a point can be hit, so try to move in pairs. Dominoes Classic follows the familiar rule of matching ends.
Ludo Hero and Ludo Online are the family dice game, where you roll a six to leave the base and race your pieces round the board. Mahjong tiles also count as a board game here, so Mahjong Connect and Kitchen Mahjong Classic show up in this list.
