2 Player
Browse the grid, then read how local co-op differs from online multiplayer.
You'll find here
- Local co-op or versus on one device
- Shared controls explained on each page
- Board, sports, and party-style duels
- Short competitive or cooperative rounds
Same device, two players
These pages expect two humans at one keyboard or screen. Online-only lobbies without a local mode usually do not belong here.
Board and sports duels
Connect Four, chess, pool, and basketball twos often appear here and in Puzzle or Sports.
Learn controls together
Before you start, check the controls on the game page so both players know their keys. It prevents the classic mid-match argument.
How to play
Read the controls together, agree who uses which keys, then go fullscreen if you share one display.
