KJC Games is a Play By Mail company located in Blackpool, England. It mostly serves players in Europe and is the largest in this part of the world. This site is not directly meant to advertize their products, but to raise general interest for a hobby I enjoy.

What is Play-By-Mail?

• Play-By-Mail (PBM) is a great game system played through the postal or electronical mail.

Why would anyone want to play a game through the mail?

• PBM Games are very sophisticated.
• They are easy to learn but grow in complexity as you play
• You don't need to buy expensive software or a computer, although you may wish to keep information that you learn on a computer.
• KJC Games uses several computer systems to moderate games fairly and acuratly.
• Test your skills against hundreds of opponents from all over the world.
• It's a great way to make new friends (and enemies), many of whom have common interests.

Are you tired of playing games by yourself or with the same people again and again?

• Receive funmail, not junkmail.
• Look forward to visiting your letterbox, when you get up in the morning
• How many other hobbies provide an evening's entertainment for two pounds or even less!
• Play the games you like, when you like, where you like.

How does it work?

1. When you join a game you will receive a computer printout of your starting position.
2. You will mail your instructions to them on the form provided.
3. They mail back the next printout showing your new position.
4. A fee is charged for each urn, (For some games the first couple of turns are free.)
5. Play as long as you like or until the game ends.
