Boardgames
Welcome to my collection of free "Print & Play" boardgames!
One Paper Games
These games only require you to print a single sheet of paper and find a pen(cil) somewhere! (Sometimes even a blank paper is enough!)
This simplicity is great. You can download, explain, carry, play or pause these games instantly.
Additionally, they are language-independent. Only one person needs to understand English to read the rules, all other files don’t have (essential) text.
Kangaruse
Jumping has never been so tactical and treacherous. Hop along the smartest route to collect the most points before your opponents stamped the whole brushland to dust.
Finger Food
A quick game playable with just a single paper. Each turn, place a finger on a new square, to score more points than your opponents before you've used your whole hand.
Foldigami
A game of wits using only a single paper. Even the rules are on the paper itself, and play happens through folding and rotating.
Photomone
A drawing party game. But you're ants leaving pheromone trails, so drawing just became a lot harder and a lot more fun.
Keebble
A party game like scrabble, played using only a blank piece of paper. It's free, and it's faster.
Wondering Witches
Brew a secret potion to defeat your greatest enemies—as witches tend to do—but the High Witch is terrible at communicating recipes ...
Pirate Drawingbeard
1-6 pirates try to discover the secret (drawn) hints of the other players, to find the treasure before the others
Pirate Riddlebeard
A One Paper Game for 1-6 pirates about discovering all the secret hints leading to the treasure.
Hybrid
Hybrid games are a combination of a boardgame and a video game.
In other words, they have an offline component (usually a physical board, pieces, cards, etc.) and a digital component (their website), which work together to create magic.
Sometimes an offline mode is present or the digital component is optional. But the reason I make these games is precisely because a digital component adds so many possibilities you don’t want to miss!
Photomone
A drawing party game. But you're ants leaving pheromone trails, so drawing just became a lot harder and a lot more fun.
Keebble: Knickknack
A party game like Scrabble. A spin-off for Keebble. Played using an empty paper and one phone with internet.
That's Amorphe
A party game about imagining what happens if one thing morphed into another---or guessing what other players mean with their inventions.

One Pizza the Puzzle
A game about sending pizza couriers all over town and cutting off other players. Because, obviously, you are not allowed to cross other lines drawn on the board.
Unstable Universe
The only boardgame where you're allowed to cut the board into pieces, especially when you are losing.
Kingseat
A fast and simple hidden role game, with simultaneous turns and no player elimination, and even without table or chairs.
Sixpack
A card game both simple and fast about using your six unique cards as best you can, while predicting how the others will use theirs.
Photomone: Antsassins
A party game similar to Codenames. The board has random shapes, and you must somehow communicate which one is yours.
Photomone
A drawing party game. But you're ants leaving pheromone trails, so drawing just became a lot harder and a lot more fun.
Keebble: Domino
A party game like Scrabble. A spin-off for Keebble. Played using dominoes and a special font where each letter is ... multiple letters.
That's Amorphe: Pictures
A party game about changing someone else's drawing into a different thing, then asking others to guess how much you changed it.
That's Amorphe
A party game about imagining what happens if one thing morphed into another---or guessing what other players mean with their inventions.
Swerving Shots
You're dueling cowboys ... but everyone shoots simultaneously and their bullets must follow the paths you created.
Collisions might occur. And that means you might just shoot yourself.
How does it work?
Click on a game, any game.
This will take you to the official game page, with a big button labeled “Download”.
Clicking that leads to a folder with all the files. (I use Google Drive, quick and free for anyone.)
The structure is always as follows:
- Rules contains the rulebook
- Files contains any files to print
Most of the time, those files are optional. Because my games are often randomly generated or have expansions, the Files folder provides all those options, but you only need to pick one PDF. (The precise material you need is always explained in the rules and on the page.)
The files are also usually sorted. For a first game you can just pick the very first file (starting with a “1”) and be on your way!
The project sometimes contains a third folder called “Vault”. That’s where I store backups of older versions or variants.
Print & Play
It means you can download the game files, print them yourself, and then play them — for free!
This system has a few obvious disadvantages: the components aren’t as nice and game quality isn’t guaranteed.
But also numerous advantages: you get free games, I can create any game I want (not just whatever is “commercially viable”), and games are constantly updated (using your feedback)!
Additionally, as this page shows, there are many game types … that are literally impossible any other way.
All games on this website are completely developed by me and unavailable anywhere else. If you want to find other print-and-play games (potentially of famous games you already love to play!) check out these other resources:
- Asmodee has an excellent website with print-and-play versions for many of their (famous) games!
