Free Games With No Pop-Up Ads and No Sign-Up
Lots of people tell us the same story: they found a free card game they liked, and then the ads started. Ads between every hand. Ads that cover the cards. Ads that blare music. Then an offer to pay to make it stop. We built Kitchen Table Classics to be different, and we make four promises about it.
1. Ads Never Cover the Game
The site is free, and in time it will be paid for by ordinary ads. Here is exactly where those ads may go and where they never will.
| Allowed | Never |

We don't offer a paid "ad-free" version, because there should be nothing to escape from. If you ever see an ad on this site that breaks these rules, please tell us and we'll remove it.
2. Big and Easy to Read
Text on every page starts at 20 pixels, buttons are large with words on them rather than tiny icons, and cards and tiles are drawn with high contrast. Card corners show a big number and suit so you can read your hand when the cards overlap. You can turn on four-color cards, slow down the computer players, and switch off animations.
3. No Sign-Up
You'll never be asked for an email address, a password or your name. Your games and settings are saved in your own browser on your own device, so you can close the page and pick up where you left off. The trade-off is that a game saved on your tablet won't appear on your computer, and clearing your browser's data clears your saved games.
4. Fair Computer Players That Explain Themselves
A common complaint about card and domino games against the computer is that the computer seems to know your cards, or plays moves that make no sense. Here's how we handle that:
- They can't peek. Our computer players only get the information a person at the table would have: what has been played and how many cards or tiles each player holds.
- They follow the same rules as you. Every computer move goes through the same rule check as yours.
- You can check every deal. When a hand ends, you can look at everyone's cards. Every deal has a number, and you can replay the exact same deal to see how it could have gone.
- They explain. Tap Why? next to a computer move to see the reason in plain English.
- You choose how strong they are. Easy, Normal or Hard.
Questions
Are the games really free?
Yes. Every game is free to play as often as you like. We plan to pay for the site with a small number of ordinary ads placed below the game or between paragraphs of text. There is nothing to buy.
Will ads pop up during my game?
No. We never use pop-up ads, video ads, ads between rounds, ads that play sound, or ads that float over the game. If an advertising company can't follow these rules, we don't use it.
Can I pay to remove the ads?
No, and that's on purpose. Because ads never get in the way of the game, there is nothing to pay to get rid of.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your games and settings are saved in your own web browser on your own device.
Do the computer players cheat?
No. Computer players only know what you could know at a real table: the cards or tiles that have been played and how many each player holds. After each hand you can look at every player's hand, and every deal has a number so you can replay it and check.
