Questions

What is a print and play board game?

A board game released as a PDF. You print the board and cards at home, cut them out, add a few dice or tokens, and play. Many designers share them for free to let people try the game before buying the boxed edition.

What do I need to print a board game?

A printer (black and white is often fine), a few sheets of paper, scissors, and usually dice, coins or pawns from another game. Each page lists exactly what the game needs.

Can I share the PDF with friends?

Share the link to the game page, not the file. Most licences allow printing for personal use but not redistribution.
