Free Board and Card Games

This page has the best stuff. Our best board and card games, absolutely free. 

If you're in a hurry or you don't have what it takes to make your own print-and-play board games, check out the easy-to-print page.

Card Games

The first few games contain nothing but cards. Which sounds easy. Unfortunately, good cards are hard to make. We've given you some hints in the rulebooks, but the best method is different for every game. Agora and TimeLine cards, for example, really want to be on heavier tagboard, while cards for Unexploded Cow and The Big Cheese need to be thinner and easier to shuffle. For some of these card games, we've created a project at Artscow.com (a Hong Kong printer) so you can order your own copy from them. But even if you do, we'd still like a donation if you like the game.

  • Agora  Agora: A tile game about building an ancient marketplace, for 2-4 players.
  • The Big Cheese  The Big Cheese: A bidding game about workers, projects, and managers, for 3-6 players.
  • BRAWL  BRAWL: A real time card game with 6 character decks, for 2 players. (Also for iOS!)
  • FALLING  FALLING: A real time card game about falling to the ground, for 4 to 8 players. 
  • TimeLine  TimeLine: An abstract tile game about time travel, for 2 to 5 players.
  • 12 Days of Christmas  The 12 Days of Christmas: A holiday-themed bidding game for 3 to 5 players.
  • Unexploded Cow  Unexploded Cow: A card game about mad cows and unexploded bombs, for 3 to 6 players.

Board Games

The next block of games has boards, and some of them have cards too. They do represent a logistical challenge to assemble, but we know you're up to it. The result will be a professional-quality board game that cost you nothing. Unless, of course, you would like to support us with a donation
