Free games that respect your time

Everything here is general information — use your own judgement and adapt it to your situation.
We've tried to cut the jargon and keep things concrete, honest and easy to follow.
We'll walk through it step by step, then leave you with a short checklist you can come back to.
A few readers wrote in with their own tweaks, and we've folded the most useful ones into this guide.
