There are are many games that are released to the public to print out and play. Right now I am not in a position to be able to buy many games so I love the idea of being able to print some new games. I am not talking about games that people have scanned so others can print them. The games I am referring to are the games that people created for gamers to play and enjoy at no cost. I would appreciate your comments on any of these games you have played. *I have updated the list to allow public additions. I was able to keep up with all the great new free games being released!

This is the third set in my card driven wargame rules, and although still loosely inspired by the Battle Cry & Memoir '44 games by Richard Borg, the game no longer has a battlefield divided in 3 sections. Battlefield sections are great for ACW and WWII, but spreading a (smaller) imperial force across the battlefield would not always be realistic or playable, since in most colonial battles a smaller well armed imperial army faces hordes of natives. The left-center-right wing Battle Cry/Memoir '44 principle has here been replaced by color-coding the units red, green and blue (activated by cards of the same color) thus enabling the imperialist player to concentrate his units anywhere on the battlefield if he wishes to. Also, compared to ACW or WWII, there was a much bigger difference in quality of weapons used by imperialists and natives. Therefore the symbols on the dice are no longer representing the targets but rather the type of ammo/weapon used, whereby the more modern weapons have a better chance of scoring hits than outdated ones (see rules).

Players of all ages will enjoy this card/tile game of hot air balloon adventure. Begin at the starting flag and work your way to the finish. With a limited amount of fuel, you must navigate through the sky while avoiding obstacles like birds, lightning, and planes. Pick up bonuses of fuel and repair along the way. Special items like the shield and looking glass may turn up during your journey. Gusts of wind may blow your balloon in all directions, but avoid the obstacles along the ground at all costs.
This print-and-play solo game is free and is small enough to take anywhere. Setup takes less than 1 minute (depending on how fast you can shuffle the tiles) and each game can be played in 3 minutes or less.

Dead walk Again, DwA, is a set of free, print-and play tabletop rules inspired by zombie movies that we all saw when we were younger. It is SWAT vs Zombies action in a fictional town called "Deadville." Over the last couple of years the designers have displayed the game at different game shows, and have found out what works and what doesn’t. From the designers: "After many game rule adjustments and countless hours of testing, we now feel that we have found the right balance in the game, and would like for you to experience it as well."

Space, the final frontier, but it is also a great place to dump things. Trust us humans to trash not only our home planet but also every place we visit. However, this gives you, a space cadet who was given his first small spaceship, a chance to use this junk to build and improve your tiny spaceship. Flying through the asteroids you collect spaceship sections and connect them to your ship, thus improving your ship. The player who best improves his ship when all the tiles are used is the winner of the game.

2109 is a free PnP game available on the geek. The files are on the 2109 game page here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/60308
2109 is a dice game akin to roll through the ages or Ra: the dice game. The theme is outer space and it's a pretty good time.

daVinci Games has released 6 free games and some of them look pretty good. http://www.davincigames.com/
GobCon at http://www.goblins.net/
I will add these to BGG Database when I get around to playing them.
*And again please suggest other games even if they are not in the BGG DB

Factories, Yukk, and Petting Zoo Gangsta are all free print-n-play games.
I printed out Yukk to use in class with spanish kids learning english, it's a great concept and really workable and fun although it was necessary to play with card ratios. In class we warm-up with the kids thinking of their own yucky foods, rating their yuckiness and then making their own cards before playing. It's fun and it's didactic. Thanks for making them man.
