Go for ages 7+: Three sizes: 9x9, 13x13 and the full 19x19 board. Play free right in the browser, no account or install needed.
Go is the oldest strategy board game still played, and its core rules are short: two players take turns placing stones on the intersections, a group left without liberties is captured, and whoever surrounds more territory wins. Black moves first. Three board sizes are offered — 9x9 to start on, 13x13 once that feels comfortable, and the full 19x19 — so a complete beginner and an experienced child can share one game. Passing is allowed, and two passes in a row end the game and score it automatically. Go trains whole-board thinking and weighing what you gain against what you give up.
