What the six kinds mean

The labels are Lobby Meadow's own. CrazyGames and Poki use other words.

Classic board game
A board, pieces and rules far older than computers: chess, ludo, mancala and four in a row.
Card game
Played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Hearts: Classic deals 13 of them to each of 4 seats.
Dice game
Five dice, up to three rolls a turn and a scorecard to fill. On this list that is Yacht.
Against the computer
The game supplies the opponent, so one person can sit down at any hour. All 6 games work this way.
Two at one screen
Two people share one computer and take turns with the same mouse, as in Mancala Classic and Four in a Row.
Other people online
The opponent sits at another computer: a stranger from a lobby, or a friend with a room password or a match number.

How to read the strip on a card

Players is the number of seats at one table. A range such as 1–2 means one person can play the computer and a second person can take the other side. Yacht's private match runs from 1 to 6 seats, so its strip says 1–6.One game is the length of a single game. None of the six publishes one. Master Chess shows its clock settings, 1 to 10 minutes a player; the other five figures are estimates and carry “est.”.Age rule is what the host's own terms say, not a view on difficulty. CrazyGames sets 13. For Poki the strip shows 16, the figure in the rules served to a connection outside the UK.

The coloured labels under the strip answer what a parent or a careful player would ask first: whether an account is needed, whether anything is sold, whether adverts surround the game and whether strangers can reach you.
