About Folkplay
• NO ADS. Not one, ever. No coins, no timers, no lives, no pop-ups.
• NO TRACKING. Folkplay collects nothing about you.
• FULLY OFFLINE. Works in airplane mode, on the subway, in the mountains.
• PAY ONCE. Every game, including the ones still to come, is yours.
The games people played before phones, and a good many since: on schoolyard floors, in village squares, at kitchen tables, in seaside arcades and at the fair. Folkplay collects more than 160 of them in one app, made with care.

FAIR, AND YOURS TO SET UP
• Opponents from gentle to ruthless. The dice, shuffles and physics are the same for you and the bots, and bots never peek at your cards.
• Choose who starts, play a friend on the same phone, or speed the bots up.
• Pin your favourites, pick up any game where you left off, and look over the final board after every game.
• A plain-language guide to the rules of every game.
