100 Sites in 100 Days - Day 50: Thousands Of FREE Online Board Games

Written by Lynnette on February 17, 2006 | Comments (12)

Here are some "boredom busters"... A growing list of online games that you can play by yourself on your computer when you're really bored (or just have some time to kill).

There's nothing to download (might need to have shockwave installed, but most people already have this), and you're not competing with anyone but yourself.

Trust me, I'm not much of an online gamer... For real. But these are the classics! Long-time favorites that everyone will enjoy.

Our Favorites: Classic Online Games

Scrabble (...a single-player Scrabble game to help you better your scores)

Lite Brite (...tell me this isn't just the coolest?!)

Trivial Pursuit (...for the brainiacs!)

Boggle (...for the word game connoisseurs)

Pac Man (...just like I remember it!)

Chess (...the "artificial intelligence" version!)

Tetris (...just like the classic game)

Battleship (...pretty low-tech version - for when you're really bored!)

Battleships (...the high-tech version)

And, for the little ones... Check out these Candy Land fun park kids games.

For all you puzzle-doers out there (including me, on occasion), I dare you to try one of these online jigsaw puzzles ...especially the first one with the flowers in a vase & glass jars!

Speaking of puzzles... This one is pretty wild!

Find New Online Games At These Sites

Now, if you're looking for similar games, but with more interactive functions (or others to play with online...), we recommend the following online game sites:

Yahoo Games (we've tried Scrabble, Bowling, and golf. Here's their alphabetical listing of free online games.)

Pogo Online Games (we can often be found playing Euchre, Pool, or Poker there)

MSN Zone Games (...they seem to have all the "popular" ones)

Nabisco Land (...believe it or not, they've got some really fun games!)

Addicting Games (...literally hundreds of one-of-a-kind games)

Kids Domain Games (these look fun and harmless for kids)

...Anyone have any other fun online games to add???

Don't miss Jim's collection of 100 Sites in 100 Days... lots of online interactive games and puzzlers there as well!

Okay all you Scattergories fans...

--> Here's another Hasbro demo for Scattergories so you can play online!

--> And here's a game that's similar to Scattergories called PooWords. You can also play this one online, but you have to register first and jump into an existing game.

Have fun!
