Ludo & Chess Online — Free 2-Player Board Games

Two classics that work the way they do on a table: against the computer, or passing one device around. No account, no friend codes, and nothing to install.

A board game in a browser has to answer one question before anything else: who am I playing? Both of these answer it the same way — the computer, or a person on the same device, passing it back and forth the way you would pass a dice cup. Neither needs an account, a friend code or a lobby.

Ludo Legends is Ludo, the game played as parchís in Spain, as ludo across South Asia and as sorry! in the United States. Four tokens, one die, and the oldest argument in family gaming about whether to send somebody home. It plays against the computer at three strengths or pass-and-play with up to three other people.

Chess 3D is a full implementation on a board you can read at a glance — castling, en passant, promotion and stalemate all handled, legal moves lit when you pick a piece up. Play the computer or a friend on one device.

Both run on a Chromebook, a phone or an old laptop, because a board game should not need a graphics card.

Questions

Can I play Ludo or chess against the computer?
Both, at a choice of strengths. You can also pass the device back and forth for two to four players - there is no account, friend code or lobby.
Is Ludo the same game as parchís?
Yes. It is played as parchís in Spain, as ludo across South Asia and the UK, and as sorry! in the United States. Four tokens, one die, and the oldest argument in family gaming about whether to send somebody home.
Does the chess support castling and en passant?
Yes - castling, en passant, promotion and stalemate are all implemented, and the legal moves light up when you pick a piece up.
Will they run on an old laptop or a Chromebook?
Both. A board game should not need a graphics card and these do not.
