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 explained so anyone can learn it. This update brings a big 3D and visual polish pass to most of the games: realistic 3D boards, tables, characters and animals, bigger play areas, smoother portrait and landscape layouts and better lighting. 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 accounts, and everything plays offline. HOW IT WORKS Every game is free to play, with short ads that help keep it free. Prefer to play without ads? Unlock any game once, for good, with a single purchase: no subscriptions. You can also choose to watch an optional short video for an ad-free hour. 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.
