www.vassalengine.orgThey are both (VASSAL and Cyberboard) used primarily for pbem (play by e-mail) games or peer to peer (networked) play. The games libraries are vast. Just a quick browse through the A-Z game listings at VASSAL and you will see what I mean (
http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Category:Modules). The games (called Modules) are downloaded and saved on your local machine, then simply double clicked on to open VASSAL (previously installed) and run the module. There are options for finding a player. It is up to the player to enforce the rules to the game and as such there is no AI built in. It is like having the board game in front of you. There are other sources for VASSAL games which are not listed on the VASSAL page. For instance, Rebekah Bissell and I have the game mentioned above (
Inspector Moss 2: House Arrest) available for download from a dropbox location which was written using VASSAL and is fully playable as a module, although is not listed at the main VASSAL site (and it is a solo game, so you don't need to worry about finding another player). To get a feel for things you could try this out without worrying that you are holding up another player's turn (and then you could review and rate it on BGG
). There are many of these 'rogue' Modules to be found all over the place.
VASSAL itself is completely free software to use. Titles such as
Carcassonne,
Memoir 44,
Twilight Struggle and of course
Monopoly 
) can be found amongst the Modules. Have a look, you will be surprised at how many good games can be found listed.
I have spoke mainly about VASSAL as that is the one that I use, but I imagine that the same can be said for Cyberboard.
