Play bay E-Mail (PBeM)
I played chess by e-mail once.
I never really thought you can play games by email. Do the just show you the last move that was made and then you make a move and email it back to them?
How long would a game like that last? A week?

Yes, approximately so, it is not dependent on types of games. The list of commands (refers to as the order more often) is sent a computer (server) or the Game Master (GM), answers from all players, then reports are made and dispatched all participants.

It depends on much. Sometimes can be once a week, can be more often or less often. I am GM, and in mine game (is not a chess), per one week five turns.
You could play civilization this way. I think if you want to make a long-time taking turn based multiplayer mode, you'd be better off using a small xml file on a central server.
