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.

      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.

      Powerline networking is often limited by the fact that a lot of houses/apartments have multiple circuits and circuit brakes are the nemesis of powerline networking.
