Test New Gleemax Games

Wizards of the Coast just opened up their online games area for early alpha testing.

Among the offerings are Axis & Allies, Acquire, Guillotine, RoboRally and Vegas Showdown.

All of those games were created right here in Western Mass by our favorite online game company - GameTable Online.

The games are currently free to play but, at some point, there will be a fee associated with them. The details are, as yet, unclear.

GameTable Online - Cool site for boardgamers!

If you ever thought that you'd love to play a boardgame but just don't have the space to set one up, or none of your friends can get away at the moment then you may want to check out GameTable Online.

GameTable Online is a subscription game service that provides a number of cool strategy games in an online format, complete with rules enforcement and even AI (with some games). Although the site has Chess, Checkers and Backgammon you'll probably be more interested in checking out Euphrat & Tigris (aka Tigris & Euphrates), Kill Doctor Lucky or Nuclear War. There are 17 games in all.

Some of the games are free, including a monthly featured game - at the moment it's Euphrat & Tigris but that will change soon.

Subscriptions are $4.99 a month for access to the full game library, but registration is free and gives you full access for two weeks.

Oh, and two out of three Greenfield Games owners are involved with GTO... which is yet ANOTHER reason you should give it a try.
