Things You'll Need:

Step 1
Get a separate e-mail account for your games. This will help you organize your game files and keep them away from the really important stuff, like work mail, messages from your parents and your favorite spam.
-
Step 2
Decide how much time you can spend on your game. Like any hobby, PBEM games can demand a lot of your time, and some offerings even have fixed schedules.

Step 3
Decide how much money you can spend on your game. There are hundreds of free PBEM games available on the Internet, but commercial games range in price from a few cents to $10 or more for each game turn.
-
Step 4
Pick the game that's right for you. Narrow your search for a PBEM game by deciding in advance what kinds of games are most interesting to you.
-
Step 5
Search the Web for PBEM games. The best way to find a game is to visit Web sites and Internet newsgroups devoted to the hobby.

Step 6
Sign up for a game. Once you've found a game you want to play, you'll need to register (on the Web, by e-mail or by postal mail) and take care of any entry fees.
