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.

Ah, yeah, playing on official or public servers is definitely gonna be a mixed bag in terms of location. I'll admit I didn't really consider that as I'm lucky enough to have a good group of friends with similar gaming interests, and we're all within about 100 KM of each other. I just ended up building a server and self-hosting out of my home.
