What?

This site is a collection of extremely minimal, but fully-functional games of strategy.

While the games use Javascript where necessary, there are no logins, users, analytics, advertising, or anything really that would require server infrastructure.

This means there isn't even online multiplayer. I recommend playing in one of two ways:

  1. "Couch Coop" -- if you are physically colocated, simply pass the screen back and forth.
  2. URLs -- as you play you will notice that the URL updates with each move. The URL is a complete serialization of the game state, thus you can use your favorite means of communication (email, IRC, carrier pigeon) to exchange URLs at the end of each turn.

I have taken great care to ensure that the games are playable on any contemporary computing device (e.g. one with an up-to-date web browser), mobile or otherwise. Please let me know if that is not the case.

How?

Modern web standards (CSS and Javascript), tastefully applied. (All "vanilla", no frameworks.)
