Getting started
Just three things to do
It hardly counts as a procedure, yet people ask how it works, so here it is written down.
-
Look at the cards
The badges are the same on every card: players, round length, difficulty and rating. Got a spare couple of minutes? Try snake or word guess. Fancy something longer? Draughts or solitaire will fill it. Want company on the same screen? Four in a Row works well.
-
Press play
Each game opens right here on BritList24, in the very tab you are looking at. You never fetch an app, switch on a plugin, save a file or create an account.
-
Play, stop, come back
Nobody tracks you from game to game. Close the tab whenever you like, and return to the list when another round appeals.
How we choose
A short list stays good only if someone looks after it
The idea behind BritList24 is simple: people keep coming back to the games they already know. Board and card games come first, quick puzzles after them. None needs a tutorial, a login or any setting up before your first move.
-
Familiar games first
Every game here has been around for generations. The rules are probably in your head already, so you can start straight away.
-
Served by us, played in your browser tab
All the games are delivered from our own servers. Anything that wants an installation, a sign-in or one specific device is left off.
-
Open to everyone
Nothing is locked, nothing is for sale and nobody has to register, whichever game you open.
-
The same four badges throughout
Players, round length, difficulty and rating follow one set of measures for every game, so the cards can be compared fairly.
-
Checked now and then
We play each game again from time to time. When one drifts away from what its card promises, we mend it or remove it.
Questions
What people ask most
Mostly about what is needed to play, how the quick games differ and which device to use.
Is there anything to buy before I play?
Nothing at all. Each game on BritList24 loads straight away, with no subscription or account in the way. Pick a card and play.
What are the quick games?
Minesweeper, snake, word guess and sliding tiles: short solo rounds that fit into a spare few minutes. They run in the browser like the rest, need nothing bought and never ask for a sign-up.
Do I need to know the rules of draughts or solitaire?
Not really. Each game page has a short guide, and the board lights up the squares a piece can move to. The computer opponent has an easy level to begin with.
Can I play against another person?
Draughts and Four in a Row can be played against a friend on the same screen, or against the computer on three levels. The other games are for one player.
Who decides the star ratings?
Players can rate a game once a round has ended. The star figure is the average, and the short note beside it sums up what players mention most.
Which browsers work?
The current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge will run every game. They use ordinary web technology, so there is nothing extra to add.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The games adjust to a smaller screen and answer to touch. Snake, memory and sliding tiles feel especially natural under a thumb.
Who runs these games?
We do. The games all come from BritList24’s own servers, so a single privacy policy and a single set of terms apply to everything you see here.
Say hello
Know a game that belongs here?
If it is a well-loved classic that opens at once and needs no installing, let us know. Do the same if something on a card seems wrong.
