Check Out Best of British Draughts

There are a lot of different types of Draughts played around the world. In fact the game has been played since possibly as far back as 600 BC (I remember my great grandmother telling me that when she taught us the game as kids. Funny, I don't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday but this piece of information has not escaped me). Anyway, I used to play Draughts as a kid, and then I taught my own kids, but a lot has changed since then. Well, the principle of the game has remained the same of course, but now there are all sorts of different versions, especially since there are online versions too. I chose a UK version (found on a free UK online gaming site) but it is played in America too. It is known as Anglo-American Checkers and is probably the most popular type of Draughts throughout America and Britain.

Draughts is Easy to Learn and Enjoy

Since I already knew the basic rules of the game of Draughts (on the 64-square chequered board a player has to block his opponent's pieces), I started playing this game immediately. But what I really liked about this particular version was the interactivity of it. You can play against another player (rather than the computer) and you can even choose against whom you want to play. I started actually inviting my friends to play against me, and, whilst playing, we chatted about the game and other stuff! I even got tips from one of them. It was a lot more fun and felt a lot more arcade-like than other times I had played Draughts. It is just an altogether different feeling. So if you want a free fun game, check out this cool version of Draughts and invite your friends to play against you.

Play Reversi with Others Online

I had played Reversi some years ago while in a temporary job filling in for a secretary who was on vacation for 3 weeks. Well, I really do not know why she even had to take a vacation; her job was just so simple! She had nothing to do, or at least, in her position, I had nothing to do. Perhaps her bosses just did not trust me. Well, whatever the case may have been, I had to keep myself at least looking like I was busy while I was getting paid a whole lot of money. So I did. And that was how I discovered Reversi. And I got quite good at it. But I had not played it for a while and then my friend recommended her favourite free UK online game site. So I checked it out and there I saw my old friend Reversi. So I started to play.

Enjoy More Excitement With This Reversi

The game was so much more fun than I had remembered! Perhaps that was because of the sounds and the speed of the game and also the clarity of the board. The rules were the same - you get a grid with 2 different coloured balls (black and white) and you have to hit as many as possible to 'reverse' the colours on the board so that there are more of yours than your opponent's. What I really liked about this particular version of Reversi was being able to play against other players. When I was first introduced to the game I had no choice but to play against the computer; with this version I am playing against a whole slew of different players from around the world (even though it is a UK based game). I like the interactivity of it as it makes it feel like I am in a real arcade, rather than just playing alone on my computer.
