Its Your Turn.com! is my newest find on the internet for playing games...And its great!
You actually play against other people from all over the world. Mind you, its not in real time due to all the time zone differences.
Heres how it works....You sign up and go through their list of games, which include, chess, checkers, backgammon, battlebots, reversi, stack 4, go-moku, halma, chinese checkers, sabotage, and go. Each game also has at least 5 variations to choose from, (some have 10 or more).
You go into their waiting room to check out who is waiting for a partner in any of the games you choose to play. If no one has a game you like listed, add your own, and within minutes you get a taker. Its that easy to get started.
You can list yourself as a beginner, intermediate or advanced player and that helps when people choose to be your opposition and also who you choose to play with.
There are public message boards where you can go and chat with other players, ask questions and ask for help with games. There are also private messages you can send to particular players as well.
You can create your personal profile...or not. Your choice.
There is an area where you can check out whos here at any given time also.
Theres also an area where the site prints up news about IYT, a tell a friend section and an area where you can go to invite your own friends to join and play. And dont forget to go into the features and tips section for some insight into the games and strategy.
There are just for fun games and there are also tournaments you can play in. (Right now, Im in 6 tournaments and Im playing 12 other games too!)
