Thought I would post in celebration of 1 year of my website being online. I've been working on it on and off and currently the website allows users to play Hex, Tumbleweed, Amazons, and Connect 6 against friends or against practice bots. I've been a long time player of some of these games and I felt for a long time that the world could use a few more popular abstract strategy games compared to Chess or Go.

If you try it, let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new games or new features to add :)

nice website, Thanks for sharing. I like board games, so I'll definitely try some (or all) of them.

Nice feature to add would be single device multiplayer for the games.

I play board games mostly in person. I know that there are travel versions of many games... but I don't like to carry too much stuff. So I've created 2 games that I sometimes play with other people (e.g. on a train, bus, or anywhere else if there's nothing better to do).

Both games have only 2 player mode on single device. They're PWAs with offline support, so you can install them on your phone and don't need internet to play.

These are:

- backgammon: https://nenadalm.github.io/backgammon/ (link to the rules at the bottom in menu)

- virus wars: https://nenadalm.github.io/virus-wars/ (link to the rules at the bottom)

Thanks, single device multiplayer is a great idea.

Someone else recently mentioned to me that Virus Wars is their favorite game! I'm glad to see it getting some love.
