# Games Are Free > Free browser games written from scratch. Every game runs in the browser with no > download, no account and no third-party embed. Pages are static HTML and every > game works with touch as well as a mouse. Games Are Free publishes its own implementations of public-domain games rather than embedding third-party players. Card game rules follow published sources, and the rules each engine enforces are covered by unit tests that run before a change ships — a test suite, not a guarantee that no bug exists. There are no user accounts, no tracking of individuals and no user ratings, so no rating or review claims appear anywhere on the site. ## Games - [All games](https://gamesarefree.com/games): the whole catalogue on one page, filterable by category. - [2048](https://gamesarefree.com/games/2048): Play 2048 free in your browser.
