Descriptions of some of our games on boardgamegeek: thanx to Andrew Tullsen for the great work and the nice contact Our game 'PANTOMIME' reviewed by K.D.Grant - president of www.Treasure-Adventure.com: The Fun Day Times Issue #89 Aug 1, 2003 Print Games - "click - print - play." That just about sums it up. You click) and download an artistically designed .PDF file complete with pieces, board and instructions), you print (it definitely helps if you have a good color printer), and you play. Well, you also have to cut, and in some cases even fold. But it's a small price to pay to wind up with a new, fun board game. These are bona fide board games. The instructions are generally easy to read. The pieces and board usually beautifully illustrated. But what makes this site of special interest is the whole idea that games can be invented, marketed, and even sold - without ever actually being manufactured. It's an invitation to game designers who are fed up with the difficulties of getting their work into the hands of the players they've designed them for. It's an invitation to game players who are equally fed up with the expense and difficulty of acquiring new board games. Some games are only a few pages long. Some as many as 10. There aren't that many, but there's a good variety. With a little
more visibility, Print Games could establish an exciting precedent for
both publishers and players, providing inventors with far greater access
to a wide and esoteric public, and players with an opportunity to find
exactly the kind of game they're looking for - right on their own printers. Fun FreebiesWith the holidays just around the corner and the economy heading for the coroner, finding perfect gifts for family and friends may be a daunting task for you and your students. Budgets are tight and spirits are sagging. What better gift to suggest than a game? You wouldn’t be surprised if I sang the praises of the great value for money in the nearly endless replay opportunities from purchased board and card games. You might be surprised to learn, though, that there is a vast wealth of free print and play games for you to make and play in both classroom and home settings. Just type the words print and play free board and card games into your search engine and an abundance of sites listing a cornucopia of games will appear. My favorites come from www.printgames.net, which lists games suitable for ages 7+, and www.boardgames.about.com, which not only details links to various sites but also offers game industry guru Erik Arneson’s list of favorites and a 7-week e-course in free games. If you find that the most you can do with scissors and glue is bond the blades together, there is also a wide range of parlour game that can be played with few, if any, supplies or props. The only resources parlour games require are enthusiasm and that most precious gift of all – time. Wikipedia.org’s page on Parlour Games incorporates links to instructions for 15 delightful games described elsewhere in the wiki as well as external links to sites detailing even more of these centuries old pastimes. My favorite for a large party is Mafia, but two can enjoy endless hours of amusement playing Botticelli (surprisingly omitted from the list of parlour games, but described elsewhere on Wikipedia.org). Whatever your budget, there’s no excuse not to play this holiday season. Just make the time for timeless memories. |
