Frequently asked questions

Is it really free to play?

Yes. All 40 browser games are free to play with no ads, no signup and no coins, and nothing here asks for a card.

How many games are in the catalogue?

425 board games and 49,998 Steam games, with player counts, play times, prices and system requirements on the pages that have them.

Where do the facts come from?

Board game data is compiled from BoardGameGeek and Wikipedia — facts are verified and gaps are left blank rather than guessed — and video game data comes from each game's own Steam store page. We are not affiliated with any of them. More on how this is built.

Can I publish a game I made with AI?

Yes — upload one self-contained HTML file and it gets its own permanent page, free and with no account. A human plays every submission before it goes live, and you keep all rights to your game.
