Overlords Of Infamy Print-And-Play

by

Overlords of Infamy is (for the time being) a free print-and-play game. The author writes:

In this game, you take on the role of an Evil Overlord ruling over subjects within his/her sizeable tract of land. The goal is to make your subjects as miserable as possible, while other Overlords are doing the same to their subjects. You accomplish this by harvesting a variety of materials to complete myriad Nefarious Plots ranging from “Steal Candy from Babies” and “Make Everyone’s Socks Slightly Damp” to “Blow up the Moon!” and “Resurrect the Old Gods”. All the while, there is a band of Adventuring Heroes from the Kingdom of Good going around trying to thwart all Overlord’s plans, other Overlords will be committing acts of Espionage against one another, and random world events will be triggered by World Tension from your actions!

Farscape: The Card Game

Farscape is one of my favorite science fiction series, though like many, its life was too short. You can relive the adventures with the print-and-play Farscape card game.

Unexploded Cow Print and Play Game

by

Unexploded Cow is a commercial product from Cheapass Games, but you can get a free print and play version at the link. The game has an hysterical premise: that bovines suffering from mad cow disease are being used to solve the problem of unexploded bombs in Europe left over from the wars.

Witch Trial Print and Play Game

by

Witch Trial is one of Cheapass games most popular products. You can get a print-and-play version of this game at the link.

In Witch Trial, you play an attorney at a prestigious law firm. You will act as a prosecutor or defender in several cases involving unmarried women, free thinkers, vegetarians, the homeless, and other undesirable types. While witchcraft per se isn’t really a crime, it’s customary to bring suspects into court on related offenses, such as card playing, smoking, and tampering with the post.

This game requires lawyer-like reflexes, a little bit of luck, and the willingness to bargain when you know you can’t win.
