Arcforge: World Heritage Games

Arcforge is a growing collection of games from the heritage of every culture: board, card, dice, tile, puzzle, dexterity and team-sport traditions, each made with care and explained so anyone can learn it. These are real games that real people still play, and each Rules page states any simplification we made. Every game has an About page that says where it comes from and how it is played. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and everything plays offline. HOW IT WORKS Every game opens with a free preview, so you can try it before you decide. Unlock the ones you love once, for good: no subscriptions. Several games are free to play in full. LEARN AS YOU PLAY Every game has a Rules page and a How to Play guide, with text size up to 300%. Auto Play (Watch & Learn) lets the computer play and explain its choices, and you can pause it or ask for a hint at any time.
