Adding Multi-player Games

We are interested in adding the ability for users of our site to play games against/with each other. We were thinking more along the lines of scrabble & word-based games, plus card games and maybe some uncomplicated RPG type games. We are interested in the availability of such games. We have a dedicated server already. Would we need to have a game server?How could we get such games? Does one need to pay monthly fees for BOTH the games and the server. Where can we buy them if not? What we are looking for is a competitive price structure based on your experience of adding/leasing online games. The cost to get set up - whether you do the set up, or we do the set up, or a third party does the set up - and the cost to maintain such a system. We will pay to receive the deatiled information of the best price/servie description. If a third party server or service is involved we would prefer that it be either in North America, Britain or another native English speaking country. The types of games we are interested in are: Scrabble & Word-Based Games Card Games One or Two Uncomplicated RPG Type Games ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
