TrayGames Announces Free Ride Poker,
Releases Classic Chess

Famous game designer Reiner Knizia brings Free Ride Poker to TrayGames.  TrayGames Chess added to their Classic Games series.

Free Ride Poker is an exciting Poker variant for 2 to 6 players that feels like traditional Poker without the complex bidding procedure. It shares elements of play with Texas Hold 'em as cards are played visibly on the table. The Free Ride happens when a player is still able to play cards when they have insufficient chips to pay when folding, providing last chance to remain in the game.

Free Ride Poker is available to play for free during the beta period.  TrayGames has also released Chess for free play on the TrayGames Network.

Like all games on the TrayGames service, these games can be downloaded and installed with a single click in the TrayGames Manager, and played multi-player with friends and family or through auto-matching.  Player rankings and score ladders are also featured.
