Free? Really?

Yes! Yucata is one of the last non-commercial board game platforms on the web.
We offer:

No subscriptions
No premium model
No ads
No tracking or data collection

If you enjoy Yucata, we gladly accept voluntary donations to help cover operating costs – but everything stays completely free, with or without a donation.
Be our guest! And just like any good guest: please treat other players and the community with friendliness and respect.

Play without stress

At Yucata, the focus is on fun without time pressure.
That’s why our games are turn-based: You make your move whenever it suits you – during a coffee break, in the evening, or on the weekend.

Live play is possible if everyone agrees – but never required
No penalties for playing slowly
No rush, just enjoyment

Bored?

Then just play multiple games at once!
You can have as many parallel games running as you like. If one game is paused, you continue in another.

We also offer nearly 20 games with solo mode – perfect for practice or a quick game in between.

Why are we doing this?

Simple: We love board games.
Our team is made up of passionate players who also enjoy playing at a real table – but when that’s not possible, we come here.

Everyone on the team contributes voluntarily, depending on interest and availability
We’ve been releasing about one new game per month for years
We’ve been running Yucata with passion for over 20 years
