Brettspielwelt (BSW)

Literally, the "board game world." The site contains over 60 games that can be played in real-time with players from all over the world. Although hosted in German and frequented by German speakers, the site has a growing English-speaking population. Game rules are available linked from the site, and people are usually friendly and will assist new players. At any given time of the day or night, there are usually hundreds of players logged in and playing.

Gravon

A much smaller community similar to BSW. Games can be played in real-time, although there are usually fewer people online at any given time. There are also fewer English speakers. Stratego seems to be one of the more popular games on this site.
