Many people prefer backgammon as one of their favorite online
games. The object of Backgammon is to move all your pieces, or
stones, around the board counterclockwise into a home area. From
the home area, the pieces must be removed from the game board by
exact dice roll. The first person to bear off all their stones
will be declared the winner. In Backgammon, you will connect
over the internet with your opponent.

Checkers, which is a board game classic, is also one of the
most popular online games in existence. The object of checkers

pieces. You can also win by positioning your checkers in such a
way that results in blocking your opponent from moving. When
playing Checkers online, you will connect over the internet with
your opponent.

For the card fanatic, internet hearts is a popular choice among
online games. Hearts is a card game with four players, each
playing independently. The object of Hearts is to earn as few
points as possible during the course of play. When any player
reaches 100 points the game ends, at which time the player with
the fewest points wins. While playing Hearts online, you will
connect over the Internet with your opponents.

Reversi, another of the popular online games pre-installed into
MS Windows XP, is a game played on an 8x8 board with
black-and-white pieces, or stones. The object is to have more of
your color of stones on the board than your opponent. Stones can
be reversed from one color to another by surrounding the pieces.
The game is over when neither player has any legal moves left.

Another of the popular online games for the card fanatic is
known as Spades, which is a partnership card game with two teams
of two players each. The object is for you and your partner to
bid a contract, then skillfully play your cards in coordination
with each other to make the contract. You win when you reach 500
points or force your opponents to drop to a negative 200 point
score. As is the case with all other online games, you will
