7 Popular Alternative Online Games for Gamers

If blasting stuff up on videogames is becoming too much of a routine, then playing alternative online games might be what you need. Put your console aside and forget about complex videogames for some hours.

Instead, play these simple games for mindless fun. Some games also involve chatting with friends and winning money if lucky. The best part: you don’t need a powerful gaming PC. A smartphone or working computer is enough.

The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game

The Lord of the Rings franchise has inspired lots of authors, TV show producers and game developers over the years. But seldom do you find card games about the franchise. Well, there’s always an exception and that’s Adventure Card Game.

It’s a solo or team-based game of two players that cooperate to build decks of heroes to defeat Sauron the villain and his minions. It’s also an adventure card that takes you around different occasions to battle foes or edge closer towards Sauron.

Video Poker

Video poker is a blend of online slots with poker in that it involves a video screen akin to slots and poker cards. The computer deals you five cards and then you decide which ones to keep and which ones to discard.

You win if you form one of the hands used in regular poker:

  • Two of a kind
  • Three of a Kind
  • Straight
  • Flush
  • Full House
  • Four of a Kind
  • Royal Flush

How much can you win at Video Poker? It depends on several factors: the game type, bet amount and strategies you use. Read up on it here for better guidance, including tips you can use to win consistently.

Farming Simulator 20

When was the last time you were at a farm? Never? Don’t worry—farming experience isn’t needed to play Farming Simulator. Instead, creativity, good management skills and the ambition to build an empire are what you need to succeed at this simulation game.

The game features John Deere tractors and other farming machinery. Then there are large fields through which you can grow common crops in North America: corn, cotton, vegetables, onions, fruits and barley, to name a few.

Slots

Slots are the most popular games at online casinos. That means you can play them to win real money. However, that’s not really necessary, at least if you’re not a gambler. Instead, you can download free to play casino apps and play one-man bandits without spending a dime.

Truth be told, there are many notable differences between free to play and real money online slots. For example, online casino slots are of better quality, regulated, fair and pay significantly better. Of course, that comes at the cost of spending money to play.

There are a couple of occasions when you can play real money slots free. For starters, you can play each game’s demo mode a handful of times. Or you can claim no deposit bonuses from casinos. The latter option also guarantees you could win money although there might be conditions for cashing it out.

Golf Clash

Mobile gaming is on the rise, so why not give it a shot by playing an insanely addictive golf simulation game. Golf Clash is available on both iOS and android devices. It’s free and easy to set up and there are different levels to ensure you play with people of equal skill sets.

That said, your success on Golf Club is heavily reliant on the golf clubs and balls you use. The standard ball and clubs you get as a beginner have a low accuracy level. So, you must win often enough to get enough coins and buy better coins and clubs.

Of course, you can always purchase these items. That’s what people that don’t want to toil for the best clubs and balls do. However, you don’t have to purchase anything on the game. You can play consistently and you’ll score decent equipment over time.

Graveyard Keeper

So, you love video games with dark themes? Check out Graveyard Keeper, a free online game that involves digging graves, placing headstones, clearing land and interacting with local villagers.

For clarity, Graveyard Keeper is based on a medieval cemetery, which makes it a little bit darker and more intriguing. Although it’s neither as big nor as complex as Among Us, you must pay to unlock the best features. For example, you can reawaken the dead and give them menial tasks like digging up graves. Or you can pay for access to a tavern.

Civilization VI

Civilization VI lets you choose a famous world leader and use them to lead an uncivilized nation from 4000BC all the way to modern society. You could work with Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington, and Isaac Newton—there’s a ton of them.

The challenge is to control your military, resources and make decisions that lead to civilization. For example should you invest in defense or scientific research? Which land is suitable for cultivating land? Where do you set up a coal mine?

Interestingly, it’s not just about turning an ancient society into a modern one. You could also spread the gospel, create a culture that appreciates art or invest immensely in space exploration. That said, civilization is a turn-based game, so you can always take a break to work on your project later on.

Roulette

Roulette is a simple but interesting game. You spin a specialized designed wheel and then place a bet. You can bet the wheel’s marker or ball will settle on a specific number (1 to 36). Or you can predict the ball will land on a black and not red color pocket.

Roulette is one of the most famous games at online casinos. So, like slots, you can play it to win real money. It’s a high-risk game of chance. As such, don’t spend large amounts as a beginner. Instead, play it for free. And if you like it, then you can spend your money on it.

Note: Roulette comes in many types. It also features different bet types. So, before you spend your money, dig around to discover the best roulette games and how to increase your profitability.
