You can.  I do it when people time stall and such.

Back on isotropic I created a couple alts and tried playing two games at once for a series of games. One alt would always be the left game and one alt the right. This experiment lasted not very long because click heavy things like SP engines came up too often and I really felt I couldn't keep up a reasonable pace for both games at once. I hope too many people didn't fall asleep reading this.

I do occasionally, but only if it's manageable.  Like if I have my current game completely figured out (it doesn't require much more thinking), it's not click-heavy for me or my opponent (SP, Advisor, discard attacks, etc.), and if my opponent is slow, then I'll go start another game.  Or I'll at least create the game, waiting for people to join.  That being said, this is a skill which takes practice to learn.  I used to be bad at it, and would occasionally end up in 2 games when I shouldn't have been.

So ya, it's possible, but be careful.

In a more serious note, I don't think I'd be able to do this, as I have a hard time concentrating on one game. Also, it can be quite rude to let your opponent wait on a Militia-discard, or something similar, so you'd need to check back-and-forth often. If you feel like it, you should try it, but it's not something I'd do.

It's better to play a single player game in another window

I did it quite a bit on iso but on Goko I usually just read stuff on the side or browse the internet or complain on the stream about my opponent mullling over trivial decisions.
