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.

Chess, Tabletop simulator, collector card games.

Tabletop Simulator gives everyone bad ping. Most lobbies I've been in have everyone with triple-digit ping despite it all being filled with Americans, and maybe one Portuguese guy with 400 ms ping.

Even in the same household, ping seems to stay around 20 ms
