Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Looking for print and play game recommendation (lemmy.ca)

I learned about postmark games a couple years ago, found the print and play format quite interesting and wanted to try something. But it looks like all their games are competitive, which I often don't enjoy.

Mostly I really like talking about the game while playing, so I wouldn't mind a game that's mostly luck-based or where there's little player interaction.

Please recommend me some print-and-play games if possible! I'd love to know if any other publishers do this too

On Tour is a roll and write game with print and play sheets.

The rules for Regicide can be printed for free, and played with a standard card deck.

That looks nice! Thanks.

It is a fun slog, trying to beat all the face-cards.

Works well as a chatty coop too.

Prepare yourself for some defeats though, I get the feeling the win-rate is somewhere around 20-40% for skilled players.

Pai Sho is a family of abstract strategy games. Fire Pai Sho relies some on luck, and Respite Pai Sho is a solitaire game. Both games can be played with a Skud Pai Sho set, for which you can get printable sets here.
