The basics are simple. You can sign up for the site, or not, and play a variety of fairly common online/parlor games. Games include: Brickout (i.e. a Breakout clone), Solitaire, Chess, Checkers, Free Cell, Darts, Jigsaw Genius, Tiles, and more. These games are generally familiar to most of the population, and the way they play on WorldWinner.com is about like any other online games site. WorldWinner.com does manage to work in some nice perks, such as being able to change the background on your cards, but otherwise works like any gaming site should – it’s simple and straightforward. Most importantly, it’s nice and quick, and over a couple weeks of play it never locked up or gave me blank pages.

You can play on WorldWinner.com for free, which is a must for newbies. Getting the hang of the games and understanding how the scoring is done on each game is essential to be the optimum competitor. Most games are played against a number of other users, although you generally play on your own screen (this is obviously not the case with the games like Chess and Checkers, which play like they do on most other sites). You can play all of the games either for free or for money.

The stakes aren’t exactly high at WorldWinner.com. For between 50 cents and a couple of dollars you can enter a variety of games. There are brackets for Rookies and Advanced players, which actually could be a problem. If folks on Yahoo! Games snipe beginning players just to improve their ranking, imagine what could happen when money is on the line. Still, things seem to work pretty well so far. The low cost of getting into a game is excellent, especially since you will tend to win 150% or more back – if you win.
