Ball Knowledge is three sports party games in one free app. No accounts, no ads. Just you, your friends and the argument. AUCTION DRAFT Everyone gets $20. Athletes come up one at a time, and you take turns raising the bid or passing. Last one standing buys. Fill your roster, then argue about who drafted best. IMPOSTER Everyone sees the same athlete except one player, who only gets a small hint. Go around and say one word about him, then vote out the faker. Catch the imposter and the group wins. PAR Golf, but with all-time rankings. Pick a list like career points or passing yards and aim for a spot like #71. Take turns naming athletes. Every spot off is a stroke, and once someone is picked, nobody can use him again. Lowest score wins. PLAY YOUR WAY - Local: one phone, passed around the room. No internet needed. - Online: everyone on their own phone. Host a room and share a 4-letter code. - 2 to 5 players. Basketball and football. Free. No sign-up. No ads. Not affiliated with any league, team or player.
