Free strategy games in your browser: chess with a coach, sea battle, backgammon, tower conquest and a tactical FPS. No download, no account.
Online strategy games are games where the plan wins: you place your pieces, count your opponent's moves and pick the moment to strike. Every game on this shelf opens in your browser with one click, with no download and no account, on phone and computer.
Most of the shelf is board-game classics: Chess with eight difficulty levels and a coach that warns you before a mistake, Sea Battle, Reversi, Backgammon, Dominoes and Ludo Royal. Next to them are games where strategy happens in real time: GUMLINGS: Tower Conquest, Korsarze, where you uncover the sea tile by tile, and FRONTBREAK, a five-on-five tactical shooter.
Hearts is strategy at the card table: take as few penalty points as you can and keep an eye on the queen of spades. The list grows with every creator who tags a game as strategy.

In Chess you play the computer at one of eight levels, take back a move and get an analysis after the game. In Sea Battle you place your fleet and fire at your opponent's grid, and a game takes five to ten minutes. Reversi, Backgammon and Dominoes are short games for a break, where one good move turns the board. Some of them, like Chess, Backgammon, Reversi and Ludo Royal, you can also play with a friend.
In GUMLINGS: Tower Conquest you tap an enemy tower and your nearest towers send as many soldiers as it takes: whoever picks the better target wins. In Korsarze you captain a pirate ship and reveal a hidden sea. In FRONTBREAK you lead a team in a five-on-five tactical firefight, where positioning matters as much as aim.
Most games on this shelf last from a few minutes to a quarter of an hour and save on your device, so after a break you return to the same game. On a phone you pick a move with a tap, on a computer with the mouse. Chess and Sea Battle are there against the computer at any hour, with no waiting for an opponent.
