Games for the Weekend Online Boardgames


I grew up playing boardgames like Risk, Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit and witnessed that board games evolved almost as much as computer games did. I would like to introduce one of my favorite online boardgames websites where you can play about 50 excellent boardgames online. Boardgames include Settlers of Catan, Carcassone and Thurn and Taxis. All boardgames of the year and of course playable in multiplayer.

You find players from all over the world playing those games which supports several languages such as German, English, Spanish and French. The main chat language is German since this is a German website but most users are really helpful and speak English as well. It is not a problem to find English games though. Each game that can be played offers an extensive game manual in your language in case you do not know how to play the game.

The first thing that you need to do is create a free account to be able to login to the website. Once that is done you click on Play now to see available games that are looking for players on the left side and all games that can be played on the right side of the screen.

Double-clicking a game brings you to the game screen which either lets you join the game or spectate to learn more about it before you start playing it by yourself.

The screenshot above shows a typical game interface. The game Transamerica is played there with four players. You could very well spend your whole life playing boardgames at the site Brettspielwelt (boardgame world) without problems. I normally play there when I’m either sick or want to play a game once again but have not enough human players to play it without the computer.

    I *hate* BSW, as it is so unintuitive, but apparently they have been working on usability. I should give it another try, but I\’m not hopeful.

    Iain I agree that the navigation for instance is rather complicated but everyone should get used to it pretty quickly nevertheless.
