Games That Are Free To Print and Play
|
|
|
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!

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.

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."

This humorous game of cutthroat politics casts the players as advisors to a dying emperor. The emperor asks that the advisors carry out his final decrees in a desperate bid to save the crumbling empire; the players reason that it'll be better not to be remembered in the history books as the one who fell the empire, and thus race to assign more blame to each other than they receive themselves.

You are starving. You are in the middle of Chinatown and only one restaurant is open. Oh no! The menu is written only in Chinese. You only know 5 Chinese characters, one for each meal type (beef, chicken, lamb, fish and vegetables). For each meal type, you are hesitating between two Chinese characters. You will have to try to order using your very limited knowledge of the language. The waiter, slightly confused, will bring you what he thinks the majority wants. The player who successfully orders the most meals will score the most points and win.
The players will do this by predicting which meal type is the most abundant in a common pile of Meal cards. To help them, they will be able to add Meal cards to the pile. However, the more cards they add to the pile, the less prediction they will be allowed to make. To win, a player will have to balance memory, risk-taking and bluffing.
The game is made of 110 cards.

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
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/35367
A game about japanese/korean dancing videogames.
Free print&play, can be directly downloaded from BGG.
60 cards and a rulebook.
http://www.interactivitiesink.com/cardgames/index.html
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.
Several Warpspawn games are now in the BGG database.
BTW, excellent list. FPNP games need more attention like this list. Thanks.
