Multiplayer
Competitive
Local
| BANG BANG BANG! | on: Linux, Mac, Win |
|---|---|
| Quick bursts of mind-games. Each stage is a grid, you pay by moving between points and being quickest on the draw. I guess this was renamed to Dangerous Duels. |

| BANG BANG BANG! | |
| BOMB DOLLS | on: Mac, Win |
| Co-op driving, scavenging, adventure, makeout, game. | |
| BOMB DOLLS | |
| Videoball | on: PS4, Win |
| Brilliant team sport. | |
Asynchronous
Async, AKA play-by-email, etc. multiplayer games are ones where each player takes their turn in their own time. When they're done a notification of some kind is sent to the opponent, who can then take theirs. I like the pace of them, and the ability to have multiple games going at a time.
| Civilization V | on: Linux, Mac, Win |
|---|---|
| Async multiplayer via Giant Multiplayer Robot, otherwise at least the host has to be online or you to take your turn. | |
| Clairvoyance | on: Mac, Win |
| Clairvoyance is a turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer game where you control a group of four robots trying to destroy your opponent's. The fun is in trying to predict what they'll do, and how things go wrong and right because of that :) Never had any luck running it on Arch, but *buntus seem fine. Works perfect in Wine. |
