Free 2 Player Games

Some games are best with an opponent, and these are the timeless ones — quick to learn, endlessly replayable, and just as fun across a table as against a clever computer. This collection rounds up the turn-based classics on the site: outsmart your rival in chess, jump pieces in checkers, drop discs to connect four, flip the board in reversi, line up three in tic-tac-toe, and close the most squares in dots and boxes. Each plays instantly in the browser with no download and no sign-up, and you can pass-and-play with a friend on the same device or test yourself against a built-in opponent at the difficulty you choose. They are the kind of games that fill a spare few minutes without any setup — no board to dig out, no pieces to lose. Pick one below, choose your side, and take the first move. Every one works on phone, tablet and desktop, so the next match is always a tap away.
