There are are many games that are released to the public to print out and play. Right now I am not in a position to be able to buy many games so I love the idea of being able to print some new games. I am not talking about games that people have scanned so others can print them. The games I am referring to are the games that people created for gamers to play and enjoy at no cost. I would appreciate your comments on any of these games you have played. *I have updated the list to allow public additions. I was able to keep up with all the great new free games being released!

A little racing game that can be assembled within an hour.
Each player has to move his racer according to the position of his "speed marker" - most preferably without bumping into walls or the other drivers.
Since no track comes along with the game, you'll have to create your own or find some means to have it created!

"Thirteen days in October 1962 nearly brought the world to the brink of thermonuclear war. Fortunately, with a combination of political maneuvering and luck, President Kennedy resisted his advisors' insistance for invasion and finally convinced Nikita Krushchev to remove the Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba in exchange for removal of US "Jupiter" missiles in Turkey. What would have happened if no agreement had been reached? What form would the US invasion of Cuba have taken if Kennedy had listened to his advisors? What would the Soviet response be? Time to find out!"

Supersurf is a game of championship-level sky-surfing, or power-boarding, in the world of Judge Dredd. Each player creates a surfer and a custom board, and races to the finish line, braving dangerous obstacles, at great heights and great speeds through one of 2000AD’s Mega-Cities. Four “Supersurfs” have been depicted in the pages of 2000AD. Marlon “Chopper” Shakespeare won Supersurf 7, held illegally in Mega-City One. Supersurf 10, held legally in Oz, was won by Jug “the Wizard of Oz” Mackenzie, winner of the undocumented Supersurfs 8 and 9. Supersurf 11, a blood sport in Mega-City Two, was won by Chopper, as was Supersurf 13, back in Mega-City Two – then being rebuilt as a new Sino-City, and without the bloodbath.

A (very) quick playing real-time rummy style game the aim in Pest Control is to clear your hand of pests (cards) before the other players.
Players have a hand of 7 cards, which they play down by making nests (melds) of 3 or more cards either of the same type or in sequential order, i.e. a run. Cards may also be added to nests played by any player. On their turn players either pick up a card off the draw deck or the entire discard pile, they then discard a card. However cards may be played down by any player at any time during their turn or other players turns,in other words the game can end at any point, meaning you have to keep a close eye on what the other players are doing and how many cards they have left. Cards left in the hand score negative points, the person with the lowest points at the end of the game is the winner.
Pest Control is a print & play game by myself and my wife which can be tried out first with an ordinary pack of cards if you are only playing 2-4 players - instructions here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/404942
To make the full game all you need to do is to make two decks of 52 using this album:
http://www.artscow.com/ShareAlbum.aspx?Key=phz8xot8
Rules can be found here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/42356
Hope you enjoy the game, any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

The Rainbow Deck is a cardgame system that has a total of 162 cards. There are 12 suits with each suit having 13 ranks, and 4 Joker cards. The suits are represented by both colour and zodiac symbols. The ranks are from 1 to K. The cards also numbered from 1 to 120.
The deck can be adapted to play a variety of games, just like a deck of Poker cards. The difference is that Rainbow deck has 8 more suits and also numbers from 1 to 120, thus it is most suitable for playing abstract games that require numbers or colours. It can also be used by game designers as components in their own prototype games.
A Geeklist that contains the games that the deck can be adapted to play can be found here ( http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/47512/item/1079890#item107...).
The PnP files are at the files section. The deck is also available at The GameCrafter ( http://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/rainbow-deck).

Quick Six was recently made available for Print & Play. It's a game that combines a light version of a Cosmic Encounter-esque power system with Risk & Roll esque 6-of-a-kind dice rolling gameplay and a unique scoring system which helps drive strategic decisions.
It will be familiar to anyone gamer or non-gamer who has ever played Yahtzee before, with just a small learning curve for the points system and abilities that can be used.

The Roulette is very simple and each game lasts from two to three minutes. Even though, attacker and defender have often strategy doubts.
