Questions and answers

Are all the games free?

Yes. Every game, its rules and its printable extras are free to use at home, at school and at parties.

How do I choose the right game?

Start with three questions: how old are the players, how many of them are there, and how much time and space do you have. Then pick a collection that matches, such as games for 10 minutes or games for a large group.

Do I need equipment?

Most games need nothing at all, or just paper and pens. The no-equipment and no-prep collections list games you can start anywhere, right now.
