Papergames.io

Ready for some brain-powered fun? In the game "Papergames.io", you get to pick from a stack of classic board games and challenge real people from around the globe. Whether you prefer a quick match or a battleground that tests your wits, there's always a new opponent waiting to see who can outsmart whom. Go solo against random players online, or make a private room to take on your friends—even if they're miles away. "Papergames.io" lines up four all-time favorites: tic-tac-toe, four in a row, Gomoku, and Battleship. Each one asks you to think ahead, spot patterns, and outsmart your rival—but every round throws in something fresh, depending on the rules you choose. You can switch games any time to see if a change of pace lets you outplay new rivals.

How to play?

First, pick a game mode from the menu. For tic-tac-toe, start by placing Xs or Os on the 3x3 grid, taking turns with your opponent. Get three in a row across, down, or diagonally to score a win. If you go for four in a row, drop colored chips into columns until you line up four in a straight line. Keep an eye out—your opponent can sneak a win at any moment, so practice blocking and planning ahead. Select Gomoku if you want something a bit trickier. Each player uses black or white stones, putting one down per turn. Whoever connects five in a row, in any direction, grabs victory. Watch the board and look for surprise moves from your opponent.

Jump into Battleship for a guessing game. Arrange your fleet on your board, then take turns choosing where to send your missiles. When you hit a ship, you get another go, miss, and your opponent takes their turn. The player who sinks all enemy ships first wins the round. You can swap games between matches, so there's always something new to try. Don't forget: if you leave before finishing, there's a penalty. Stay sharp until the last move is played. Bring your friends into a private game whenever you want a change from random matchups. Mix up the games and see who can come out on top in each!
