Geoff Bohrer offers a postcard game — an entire Avalon Hill style game on a postcard — of the Japanese invasion of Malaya:

The Japanese invasion of Malaya was one of the most perfectly executed military plans in history. Can you, as the British commander, slow the Japanese advance sufficiently to disrupt the timetable for the capture of the East Indies? Or will the Japanese succeed in capturing Singapore in time to establish the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere?

This 5×8 inch postcard game includes 18 counters, complete rules which include the asymmetrical abilities of the Japanese and UK forces,and a 5×5 1/2 inch board.

Aguirre Print-And-Play

Aguirre is a print-and-play game about the expedition of Don Lope de Aguirre to find the gold of El Dorado. Aguirre lost his mind, and ultimately began executing his men, whom he suspected of betrayal. Ultimately, Aguirre was in turn executed by one of the few surviving expedition members.

In this game players take on the role of one of the Aguirre expedition members, trying to survive long enough to overthrow the tyrant. The game features Euro-style mechanics like role/action selection and set collection.

For 2 – 6 players.

This is one I’m going  to make.

The Cthulhu Skirmish game from Warpspawn is designed to be played on a chessboard with miniatures. Each figure represents one man or monster. I also think that it would be easily adaptable to playing as a more traditional miniatures game.
