Thanks to IVANHOE programmer Nick Laiacona, this site now features a much-improved way to create and join games. Click the Games tab above to check it out. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see a list of games in which you participate. We also show you a list of active games (in which moves have been made recently) and the full list of archived games.
Our documentation is now completely up-to-date as well. You can access a hefty PDF manual at the Help tab above.

For introductory material on IVANHOE, please see the “About” section of this web site.
For the past several months, and for the next few as well (until January 2007), we are supporting several gameplays in various places in the United States and elsewhere. These sessions are enabling us to deal with the few remaining bugs in the system. Gameplay at this point is quite stable.
In terms of further development, we plan to move Ivanhoe to this blog/website, which will enourage interaction among the community of users. The game will be launched from this website, which will also give access to the games that have been played by various users. We expect the website to become a portal for further developments as the actual community of users will be driving such developments.
To that end, we encourage IVANHOE users to contribute blog posts here.
