iSketch http://www.rita.nu Gather

The english dictionary
still needs work, so use the "skip" function to avoid
hard to draw words. Or try to draw them... I was impressed by
Mike's attempt to draw "redundant."
Abalonehttp://www.abalone-online.com/ Beautiful Flash animation introduces this site. Very nice
interface on setting up the game and playing it. A little hard

but I had fun anyhow. Text chat is integrated into the lobby and
the game.

can find folks playing there at all hours of the day and night.
