Print and play games are fantastic for a number of reasons! They allow you to play a game before you buy it, maintain a good size collection with very little space, they are cost effective, and you don't have to leave the house to get them. Most of the games on our list are free and many go on sale, so this 10 game collection could be far less than $12. All you will need is printer ink, a printer, paper (card stock recommended), and scissors. Some games need you to provide some components, but anything around the house can work for tokens, from Legos to uncooked pasta. I laminate mine for durability, but you wouldn't need to. Here is our list, they are all available on PNP Arcade. There are many more games to explore on PNP Arcade, these are just 10 that we especially like.
