Print and Play Board Game Design is a boardgaming subculture that Dr. Joem Antonio became aware of in 2017 but only publicly pursued since 2023 by interacting in various online groups and participating in various online boardgame design contests. Below are some of his entries in these contests, downloadable for free.
With Print and Play games, one downloads, prints, and builds the game, mainly by assembling the printed components. On occasion, some games will require common gaming items, such as dice, pawns, tokens, and chips. These can either be culled from old boardgames or can be bought for cheap and reused for multiple games.
