Suits friends, couples, siblings and classmates, as well as solo players looking for an online opponent. Older children through adults will find it approachable. A laptop or tablet suits shared play best.

Can I play OpenTerra with a friend on the same keyboard?

Many games in this category offer that, with each player on their own set of keys. Check the start screen for a local or two-player mode.

What happens if the connection drops in an online game?

The match will usually end or pause. Refresh the tab and start a new round. Nothing is saved to an account, so there is nothing to lose.

Is there voice or text chat?

No. Games on this site do not include chat. Online interaction is limited to the game itself.
