How big is too big to build a print-and-play game?

I’ve played heavy builds, light builds, and everything in between; and I’m sharing my take in Issue #48 of the newsletter.

It’s not always about winning!

Sometimes it’s about slowing down & letting your mind breathe.

I walked through a game I found quite therapeutic, get to know more about it in my 47th newsletter issue.

Different themes, different moods, wildly different ideas, but all worth keeping an eye on!

Three very different games are lining up to kick off the year.

Time to reveal yet another bias of mine!

After Lantern and Black Sonata, I’ve developed a soft spot for an 18-card game that needs no playing surface except your hands. Any guess?

A fine window of opportunity for indie game designers!

A PnP contest has opened up, & it’s coming from Florian Fiedler and @chrisbacke.bsky.social. Seeing experienced designers create space like this made my day!

As a blogger and game designer, I’ve always wanted to be closer to my readers.

But it's something I feel articles don’t quite deliver on their own. That’s why, on Feb '25, I launched my newsletter on @beehiiv.com.

Chasing someone 400 years ago, in Shakespearean London!

Some games turn pursuit into poetry, suspense & deduction so beautifully it feels effortless.

Featuring one such game in my 42nd newsletter issue: pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/in-search-...

I’m looking back at a free, underrated, puzzly PNP I played earlier this year, with a super catchy name: Ambagibus.

I used to think print and play escape rooms were one and done.

Then I tried something different, and the experience completely changed.

I wrote about that shift in the 38th issue of my newsletter:

This game felt personal!

A game about sick days & paid leave, which feels oddly perfect for the end of the year. I usually take a week to sum up my thoughts, but this PNP just went 100% free, so here are my thoughts after 12 hours.

Could this be the most immersive PNP I’ve ever played?

I recently played Call the Doctor, & my respect for surgeons and everyone in the medical field grew with every moment in this surgical simulator
