There was some interest in the previous discussion topic, there were some interesting replies, and I heard about some games I did not know about.
So I am doing another one. This time it is about open-source games. Do you play any? Do you have a favorite game?
I often play open-source games and enjoy a few. Freeciv and SuperTux, but I think I enjoy SuperTuxKart the most. It is a Mario Kart clone done very well, it has many courses and characters. All characters are mascots for open-source projects. And you can download additional courses and characters. Also, it supports online multiplayer. So what do you enjoy?

I keep meaning to try out FreeCol https://www.freecol.org/ ... I think I did once but it was a while back and I kept having some problem, don't remember what. Tho now that I look at it, it must makes me miss that expansion to (non-open-source) Total War Empire in which you could play the natives fighting back against the colonists lel. Yeah that's the time-sink I'd willingly fall into, an open-source version of Total War, doesn't seem to be anything like that tho.

Maybe one someone will make a open source version of total war. I would play that too.
