Dominion Online is awesome and free to play

Dominion is a “deck building” game. Each player starts with the same set of cards and at each turn they can use the powers on those cards to do stuff, buy new cards and hopefully a few victory points. As the turns go round you cycle through your deck which means that the you get to use the good cards you have got, along with any bad cards like curses which other players inflict upon you.

In real life this kind of game can be a bit of a pain to play, what with the constant shuffling and dealing. However, it works incredibly well on the computer and you can play with a bunch of friends straight from the browser. Just go here and sign up.

The game experience is very good. Pro tip - change the shape of your browser window so that it is taller and thinner (like above) and you can see more details of the cards you’re holding.

It’s completely free to play, it only starts to cost money if you want to buy any of the add-on card decks. And I’m not saying it’s a great game just because I won. Even though I did.
