Free Print and Play solitaire boardgames (or multiplayer games that have solitaire rules). Most of the games on this list were found thanks to Donald Seagraves's (DSeagraves) excellent Canonical Lists of Free Print-and-Play Games (see: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/7690). See also the Print_and_Play_Games wiki page.
Only 'PnP games' that include all or nearly all necessary components in the downloadable files are included in this list (hence, no miniature rule systems, etc.). PnP games that ore only free if you register at some website or if you have a download code from a magazine are excluded from the list (games have to be really free). If you know a game that should be on this list, please add it.

I discovered this one recently and used it for testing Artscow. Now I'm having a blast playing it. The designer is a BGGer and is very responsive to questions on the game's BGG page.
It's a Steampunk themed game in which you have 60 (game) hours to search a city for the components of a fabled device whilst the eponymous Clockwork Cabal tries to thwart you. The city has shifting geometry, with locations that can shift positions and no guarantee that you can re-trace your steps. Plays in about 20 minutes.

From the Rules:
All Time Championship Soccer lets you can relive the excitement, passion, glory and defeat of taking a national team through the World Cup. Choose from 64 national teams, representing that country’s best team ever to play in the World Cup. Each team is statistically generated to match its performance in the World Cup. Attempts, shots on goal, defenses, strategy, formations, yellow and red cards, corner kicks, penalty kicks, free kicks, injuries, key players, offside traps, marking players, long ball tactics, counter attacks, packed in defenses, home field advantage, hand balls, disallowed goals, bad calls by referees, penalty shootouts and sudden death are all present for you to maneuver through group play and the knock-out rounds with the hopes and dreams of making it ultimately to the Finals. All Time Championship Soccer is a strategic level game that still lets you make game changing decisions by selecting from 9 different formations, 3 distinctive strategies, and 7 unique tactics—all while allowing play of several games in a matter of minutes. Each game only takes 5-15 minutes to play, allowing you to play an entire tournament in a few hours. There are 6 levels of play: Basic, Advanced, Premier League, Tournament, Solo and Quick Play. However, each level is relatively easy to grasp and you should be playing a game within minutes of reading these rules.
Resolve the age old question of whether Brazil 1970 is the greatest team of all time. Rematch Germany 1954 against Hungary 1954 and try to recreate the “Miracle of Bern.” See if you can do the impossible—taking Dutch East Indies 1938 from qualification to the Finals!

S/M: Solitaire or up to 3 players
Genre: Sports simulation
Short Description: Banzuke Shoushin (番付昇進 'Rise through the ranks of sumo') is - as the name already indicates - a sumo wrestling career simulation game. Hence, it does not focus on individual bouts (even though hundreds of fights are simulated during the game), but on the whole of a rikishi's (sumo wrestler) career. There are 12 rikishi in the game, but only one or a small number of those are player-controled; the others are 'automated', i.e. controled by the game. During a single game year, rikishi first train, which means that they improve their skills in 1 or 2 of 5 different areas of skill (endurance, strength, weight (yes, that's a skill here...), speed, technique). In the meanwhile their oyakata (stable masters, comp. coaches) try to improve their spirits, which works like a 6th skill. After training the basho (tournament) begins. A whole year of sumo (6 basho) is condensed into a single tournament (of 45 bouts) in the game. Every bout is decided by the match tactic and a number of dice. Rikishi can try to influence the match tactic such that it matches their strongest skills (or the opponent's weaknesses). After the basho the banzuke (ranking) is adjusted, rikishi age one year, and some retire (forcibly or voluntarily). Then the next year begins. A full game lasts well over 10 hours, but is easily split in multiple 1 hour sessions.

From the Rules:
"Have you ever wanted to build a basketball dynasty to rival that of Wooden’s legendary UCLA teams? How about experiencing the thrill of recruiting, developing and a starting a team of Champions? What about trying to improve a run-of-the-mill team into a tournament team, all while trying to keep your job? You can do all of these things a more in Basketball Dynasty—in under an hour.
Basketball Dynasty is a game about recruiting and developing college basketball players, while trying to qualify for the tournament and win a championship. Each player acts as the head coach of a college basketball team and has 12 years to win as many games, go to as many tournaments and win as many championships as possible. As the coach, you determine who to recruit (do you want solid season performers or the star who can win in the big game), who to develop, who to start and bench, and what style of team do you want (e.g., a group of 'team players' or bunch of talented 'individuals' who happened to play on the same team)."
Components:
1 Six-Sided Die
1 Rules Book
1 School Rating Chart
1 Coach Record Sheet
14 School Roster Boards
25 Red Chips
150 Blue Chips
168 Player Counters (General Supply)

I'd be more interested in having the titles sorted out in Ranking order though.
I will lend my vote to keeping it alphabetical. Ranking has little impact on me but being able to actually find a game I am looking for is of much more value to me. I have never found a list sorted by ranking that I didn't wish was sorted alphabetically or in order of being added.
Too bad you can't optionally change the sorting for personal viewing preference.
