What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I’m thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you’d simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it’s not always an option in some circumstances.

You can play a ton of turn based board games on boardgamearena.com
You can play real time or turn based. It works on any browser, even mobile.
TrackMania
Some real time strategy games might also work. I suspect Age of Empires 2 won’t be too problematic if the high latency only makes your orders take a bit longer to happen. Warcraft 3 (the original release) might also be worth checking, you can find private lobbies to use in place of Battle.Net. I suspect most Total War games might do fine, too, as even the real time battles don’t require a million clicks per second.
Old MMORPGs can also remain playable with up to ~600ms of latency, so you could give a try to WoW on private servers running older expansions, FF14 (free up to level 60, I think) or Guild Wars 2, for instance.
but due to packet loss not latency
packet loss inherently creates latency. packets must be re-sent (at the baseline cost of the additional ping latency to the other side) and your client is running with an out-dated world state. In addition, packet loss usually comes in bursts so you’re losing all packets for an amount of time.
Payday The Heist cause the worse of a connection the host has, the easier the BS onslaughts on high difficulties get lol
