The 3 Best Building and Strategy Browser Games

Quick puzzles for a short break are great – but if you want to build something for weeks, you need a good building game. Our picks for every type of player.

The 3 Best Building and Strategy Browser Games

1. Castles & the Middle Ages

For strategists with staying power: you expand a castle, gather resources, raise troops and team up with other players in alliances. Trading and sieges make sure it never gets boring. A well-known example is Goodgame Empire.

Good to know: games like these run for weeks and months. Players who drop by for a few minutes every day get the furthest.

2. Farming & business

Non-violent and without time pressure – ideal for relaxed evenings. You plant fields, build up a village or a small kingdom and unlock new buildings step by step. Merge games such as Mergest Kingdom are popular too: you combine matching items into better and better ones.

3. Tower defense

Full tactics in 15 minutes: you build towers along a path and hold off wave after wave of enemies. Every round you can improve your strategy. A classic is Cursed Treasure 2, where you play the villain and defend your treasure against heroes.
