Small & simple multiplayer games

[Matrix]

I've been searching for small multiplayer games I can play with my girlfriend and brother, but haven't been able to find anything proper. Do you have any suggestions?

It doesn't matter if it's Shockwave, or something that has to be installed. It just shouldn't be too difficult or complex. Like minesweeper or tetris...but now something for at least three players.

Chinese checkers

You can allways go for card games...

I'd suggest Final Conquest but that might be considered too difficult, seeing as it's Risk. And you need Java to play.

I'll try it out, Thrawn. Thanks.
And yes, Chinese Checkers is a good idea, but where can I find a decent version?
And I...no we generally don't like card games over internet.

So is it:
1: must be computer game?
2: must have 3 people at least available?

obviously WORMS series is right for you. Unless you have a crappy computer Worms 2 should fit the requirements and if you ahve a computer that can handle more than that get Worms Armageddon or Worms World Party. $12 or so at GameStop I got all 3 of them
You can play it online I think or better on one computer from like 1 to 8 players I think (may be 4 but I dunno really I think 8)

Worms can be played with max. 6 players.

What about Monopoly Tycoon? I'm not sure if there's a hotseat option, but I believe that it was set up as a multiplayer game. Couple years old now, so the price should be reasonable as well.

Here's a link.



Edit: I guess it's LAN or online only (for the multiplayer) do your family members all have computers and 'net access?

minigolf.

I know a bunch of vertions that all allow up to 4 players.

If you're interested I can post them.

Elgarad, I especially search for online games, not hotseat. I don't live with my parents anymore since about a month. And now my brother's sad because he's the only one left.

Great suggestion! Thanks Dabomb18359!

No problem. Glad to help. So do you even have the game?
But anyways, it's really fun. Maybe the computers are a little too cheap, but change settings for an ultra-sweet ride any time by yourself or with up to six people as "The Person" stated.
