MORE of the Very Best Solitaire Print'n'Play Games

[@PnPHideaway]

Hi Quinns, Martin Gonzalvez here, co-designer of The Cleaner. Thank you for featuring my game in your video, and for saying such nice and encouraging things about it. You really connected with the theme of the game, which is awesome. I will take your advice and work to refine it, perhaps see where it might go. :)

[@mieiri11]

We all blame martin g!

[@emmaplaysgreen2849]

Thank you too Martin, when I first got into PnP a couple of years ago, your posts (as well as Rachel's too) on FB and the BGG PnP guild were always incredibly helpful.

[@RachelBruner]

@@emmaplaysgreen2849 aaaw, thanks, Emma! So happy to help. Print and Play is a blast! I enjoy seeing others finding this hobby and having fun with it too. :)

[@RachelBruner]

Having your game featured is super awesome! And this video is hilarious!!

[@StephensCrazyHour]

Check out yahtzee croshaw's free video game called "the cleaner". It has similar artwork, the same theme and is a hoot to play.

[@NicolasChambrier]

I really love that you didn't make luxurious builds for all those games. It's actually important that people know we can just print and cut, not laminate or whatever, and really enjoy the game! Many kudos for this!

[@josephcourtright8071]

I'm from the year 3000. I've come back to tell you paper can be readded to the tray. Its is critical to the future you make more videos.

[@Toasty_93]

Lies. ... About the paper, that is. It's definitely critical that Quinns keeps making videos.

[@warpzone8421]

Buy card stock. No, seriously. BUY CARD STOCK. It's like 5 bucks for 200 sheets. You almost never use it except for printing stuff like this. It'll change your board game printing life!

[@Braddowski]

I hear not much has changed but you live under water?

[@Erlaad]

But how would you acquire more paper? And do you cut it in such a way to fit in the tray? And most of all, would the printer accept the new paper as its own without recognising the obvious forgery? Checkmate, future boy.

All this print and play and solo games has really got me into board games in general. It really filled my heart to discover there is dedicated solitaire games, when smaller I always had to play by myself. Either no one was around or they wouldn't want to play a board game. All these videos and reviews have really expanded my sight of what board games exists and have found many with mechanics and thematic I love. Have been playing many of the print and play and I'm just waiting to be able to buy things again to get other games. Thanks a lot for all your work

[@Butmac]

Quinns, these 2 PnP videos have been my favorite you've ever produced. So much is focused on larger games (which is good!) but to see a spotlight of high production caliber and cream shined directly onto games none of us would have ever played otherwise is fantastic. Please consider doing more of these, they are an absolute delight.

[@tardersauce3578]

Bold of you to assume I still have any ink after bargain basement bathysphere.

I have the same printer. Worth every penny. I've printed over 3000 pages and haven't needed to replace the ink once yet.

[@Eadox]

Just needed to say, that cut at 4:17 from a splatter sound into the register of the printer, from the projected cream to white paper, was *chef kiss* delicious.

[@freekeefox]

I think Quinn's positivity just added 10 years to my lifespan. I really need this. I hope there's a part 3.

[@KiingToaster]

Can we get a roundup of the button shy games like the oink games video?

[@GerackSerack]

Here in Spain cream comes in bricks. Imagine my surprise when I got at a British supermarket what I thought was yoghurt and, next morning, ate a spoonful of it.

[@jamesmhebert]

Someone's got to do it, and I drew the short straw: it's a pocket for pocket watches; if you don't feed your printer a balanced diet, keep an eye out for the black vehicles surrounding the flat; use that cream as a floor wax, it's apparently not a dessert topping any more. This episode, best sequel ever. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Swayzee68]

Under Falling Skies is such a great game! I'm glad to hear it's being professionally produced! Can't wait to get my hands on the upgraded version!

[@mechasduo004]

Sprawlopolis is always in my pocket at work for a quick (ha!) play during lunch! Also, playing with other people is quite fun and it always draws at least 1 person over out of curiosity. Out of all the expansions, beaches is my favorite. nothing like adding terminus planes to your city to bump up the hair pulling puzzle process! Great Vid!

[@stacie_everdell]

Thanks for sharing these solo play print and play games. I may consider one of these...maybe. But, I'm a bit of a production value snob (the feel of the cards, the syle of meeple, the special dice, and oh, tokens) and as such, I would love to see more reviews on boxed versions of solo games. I saw the one where you reviewed Aerion, Sherlock Holmes, and Decktective (and have since bought two from that review). I would be so grateful if you did another review like that. I so appreciate your insight and humor. Yours is a top notch channel! I am subscribed and forever hooked.

[@tylerrapillo377]

This is the best rabbit hole I could be going down right now. Thanks Quinns!

[@footysurfrat]

Possibly my favorite video you've done, and just because of the cream??? It must be cabin fever setting in but i was proper belly laughing! Thank you........and condolences about the printer, its always hard when you have to throw them away when they run out of paper, sad times.

[@gull2112]

Printed of a quick copy of Under a Falling Sky and found it was a blast! I took a little more time and printed it out on heavier stock and cut it in longer strips to make more enjoyable to play. Thanks for the demo.

[@kacheek9101]

Yay! Some love for Sprawlopolis! I bought their retail version direct from their website a while back and love it. The little wallet card it comes in is so convenient; played it co-op and solo at many restaurants while waiting for food orders

[@Jeddontehweb5]

Another great video. Can't wait to try these out for myself. I'd love too see another print and play video with your, Tom and Matt's top picks and why. As always, keep it up, I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[@DaneBurchette]

I came through and watched these after getting caught up on episodes of the podcast. BBBathysphere is easily the highlight of my weekend. On the off chance someone sees this, a great solo PNP I run off a few years ago and all enjoy, Dungeon of D. It's a ludicrously crushing dungeon crawl with VERY multiuse cards driving the the games engine. It's an easy build but ink heavy and time consuming to cut up. Highly recommend that to any fans of the genre. Loved the videos, hope to see more printing misadventures in the future

[@Asylumrunner8]

I appreciate that Quinns has maintained SUSD's classic "random stacks of board games scattered about the flat" aesthetic, but here it's just... random sheets of paper littered about

[@Adderkleet]

Under Falling Sky isn't a "random" set-up. The star-side is the harder side, and all cards are meant to be arranged in a set order.

[@Ditocoaf]

Yeah, that's almost my favorite part of the game! You can increase the difficulty one step by flipping ANY of the eight cards. Flipping a sky card, a base card, even the research track or the mothership, they all make the game harder in a different way. And then you start combining them.

[@TexasRain104]

Thanks for the followup video on this! I think its a great video for those in the midst of a pandemic, it gave me and I assume others more interest in looking at Print n play games... they have always been on my radar but not a priority!

[@ZedEdd]

Minor rule correction: You get -1 point for each road in Sprawlopolis, not -2 (At least in the retail copy I have). Fantastic game.

[@Swayzee68]

Yes I've always played where it's minus one point, too. I don't think they've changed that rule 🤔

[@jtatooine]

You Sir, have another subscriber. After your previous Print and Play video i went foraging and found Under Falling Skies. What a game it is! The double sided cards to slowly increase difficult is also a nice touch. Now what others did you suggest?...

[@simonadams]

Very glad I have sprawlopolis and expansions from buttonshy. I believe there is a box version in Europe butr ain't nobody got time for that. Sprawlopolis is easily the best portable one-player game I own and I'd suggest you pick it up from Buttonshy quickly... they are notorious for limited availabilty and this video is likely to cause a run on their games. Pick up Tussy Mussy too. Circle the Wagons is also great. Actually, I haven't found any of their games to not be at least interesting and I have..... 12?

Hey Quinns (and everyone). For those cards grab some commons from an lcg/ccg and slide them behind the cards in a sleeve. Then they feel like regular cards and shuffle perfectly.

[@checkchequers]

Great video. Can you do one on two player games? Some of us have significant others!

[@kosterix123]

at the very least use a rounder cutter lol 6:46 note on the epson printer - deskjets produce good playmats but for cardstock that needs shuffling they are useless. 9:24 it looks exactly like my attic. But you really should put a little more love into these game components. How hard is it to make the cards 3 layers of paper. And some rounder-cutter? Agent Decker also has a blue style instead of the brown shown here. And it has inspired StS - not a card game but a video card game.

Are there any sites with good roundups and reviews of the best free 2-player print-and-play games? Since COVID-19 hit, aside from my taking her on masked trips to the grocery store, my mom’s been pretty much tucked away at home. She’s in a high-risk category, so aside from me, her only social contact has been through video chat meetings. I’m in less of a high-risk category, but I’ve been practicing rather extreme anti-pandemic measures in order to remain safe enough to go keep her company every day. And keeping her company isn’t normally a problem: Mom’s a smart, interesting person, so we can find lots to talk about daily, or we can watch videos, or listen to things together, so on. However, Mom’s about 1,000x more social than my loner self is, and after being kept from her friends and activities for so long… well, she’s dialed up to about 11? she literally recites to me whatever is going through her head? every moment? and I’m beginning to feel REALLY RUN DOWN. But Mom loves games, as do I, so I was thinking that could be a good alternative to idle away some time! Chess is kinda heavy, however, and I don’t know where my Scrabble set is… and with all the nonessential shops closed, not to mention box retailers’ games being pretty hit-or-miss on the best of days, and also that I must mind my spending now anyway - I was really hoping for something quirky, innovative, and… free? So yeah, that was my hope: on one of my next daily visits, I could bring her some games that were engaging, charming, fun, maybe specifically designed for two players… and this free print-and-play phenomenon sounds really promising, but after Googling around for a day, I’m swamped? I don’t know what sites are reputable, who to trust, what reviews to believe… I would welcome any helpful tips or pointers, from anyone!!! 🤗♟❤️
