๐ Support the table
Knock-On is free and will stay free, no in-game currency, no microtransactions, no "premium dice", no battle pass for the corn. Winning will only ever cost you skill and friendships.
There will, however, be ads. Sorry. In my defense: have you seen this table? The felt is scratched to ribbons, the paint is peeling, there are splinters by the credits, and the left leg is held together by superstition and one stubborn nail. A man needs some way to keep it up and standing. The ads pay the carpenter, the games stay free.
And a promise about how: ads live quietly in a strip on the left side of the screen while you play, like a poster taped to the side of the table. No pop-ups, nothing over the board, nothing between you and your turn. If an ad ever gets in your way, that's a bug, ๐ report it like one.
If you'd like to help keep the lights on more directly:
Coming soon, the tip jar is still being carved out of the table leg.
Also on the workbench. For now, a kind word and a bug report are worth more than you'd think.

The cheapest way to support Knock-On costs nothing: bring your game group, break something, and tell us how. ๐
๐ Supporters: our wall of thanks
The people who keep this rickety table standing. Want your face up here? A coffee, a Patreon, or just a brutal-but-fair bug report all count. (Tip jars are still being carved into the table leg, for now, kindness and complaints are the currency.)
Lived on the bleeding edge, broke things on purpose, and filed the bug reports that made the rough edges smooth. Also a fountain of game ideas, half of which were too good to ignore. Tester, idea machine, and donor all at once.
Filed more bug reports than the rest of the table combined, and was right an infuriating amount of the time. Doubles as development & promotion. Chief Complaints Officer: the pay is exposure, the impact is everywhere you look.

- NewtL: creator, designer, host, and the person who said "this will work first try" (it did not). Based in the Philippines ๐ต๐ญ.
- The play-test crew: the friends and strangers who crashed lobbies, spammed corn onto indigo ships, and yelled until things got fixed. Every janky thing you DON'T see is their doing.
- An AI pair-programmer: rode shotgun on the code. Any remaining bugs are a team effort.
- The tabletop classics: Knock-On's games are original, fan-made tributes to the kinds of board games we grew up loving. If one here becomes a favorite, the best thanks is to buy a great boxed game and play it in person. Not affiliated with any publisher.
- You: for showing up to game night. That's the whole point of the table.
