Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Brett Gilbert, famous for designing Divinare (Spiel de Jahres recommended game of the year 2013), has founded a free game library: Good Little Games (GLG), a showcase of free print-and-play microgames.
Brett was not happy with the fact that traditional print-and-play games can involve huge amounts of printing, highly skilled crafting, and long drawn-out assembly times. So GLG has one important rule: “All games will consist of no more than just 18 single-sided cards”; the game components fit neatly on just two sheets of paper.
So far there is a stellar line up of games made by some seasoned game designers; Tony Boydell (Snowdonia), Matthew Dunstan (Relic Runners) Michael Fox (Little Metal Dog Show), Todd Sanders (Shadows Upon Lassadar) to name a few.
If asked “Why are the games free?” Brett replies simply: “Because games are meant to played”. So go and checkout this showcase of free, small, Good Little Games.

I’ve just downloaded every single one :)
Looks like a Mr. Sam Mercer is the co-designer of one of these ;)
