So excited to try some of these! I know not everyone has access to it, but I love playing PnP games on my tablet + stylus. I've played a lot of Dungeon Pages, Voyages, and a couple others just using a notes app over the pdfs. Very efficient for travelling, just need to bring along a few extra dice.
Some of my favorites include sunshine city, voyages, aquamarine, brand new zoo, dungeon pages, roll and meow : the cat burglers, handful of hazards, games from rolling revolution can get off game crafter favorite is wild wild west ❤
I love the creativity surrounding the Print & Play book. And shout-out to Fiskars Paper Trimmer for making cutting crafts so much easier! I've also been using it to make my own original board game while passively watching board game related videos haha. I like the look of the lamination you did. My game involves cutting a bunch of cards, so I opted for sleeving instead of lamination to make them sturdier.
Just ordered! 😉😏
Voyages and Aquamarine are popular for a reason, both really solid games! For me though, my favourite PnPs are Sunshine City and Wayfarers tale! Those two are phenomenal solo games with tons of variety.
YAY! So glad I have all 4 of those to try out! Can't wait! 🥰👏🏻
First off I'm loving your top, cute and cozy. I've been wanting to make my own PNP book.
I just need to get a printer. I do have a laminator.
Great book & game selection. I have played Voyages, Cat Nap & Dungeon Pages.
Thanks for share your work & your mistakes so we didn’t punch the laminated sheets 😉
Thank you so much! And haha no problem! If I was able to redo it all I would have just sized them all to the full 8.5x11 sheets of paper and bought a standard 3 hole punch! Instead of trying to fit it all into the weird 8 ring binder I had. But oh well! As long as they are all there and I can play them! 😊
I really enjoyed Catnap and have also played the physical copy of Corinth. I definitely want to check out a few you mentioned and great work with your folder. Seeing as you are so crafty, how about just covering that blue folder somehow, could be even cooler than just a regular binder 😊
I have made a PnP book very similar to you :) I made a custom marker and dice holder on the inside of the front cover so that all the components I need are already in the book, making it really portable!
OH nice! That is a fantastic idea! Thank you! 😊 I'll be adding those for sure!
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Those are gorgeous and colorful. Nice work.
Lovely finish! I need to do this. Right now they are just paper and I slot them into a sheet protector. I do NOT like that. Both Aquamarine and Shu's Tactics are great. Sunshine City is EPIC which I love. So good... :)
Okay, this is officially my favourite video of yours! I’m inspired - definitely doing this!
Awh yay! That makes me so happy! Glad you enjoyed! 🥰
The Ada Lovelace game is great! I think you'll really like it.
LOL I was just cleaning up some PNPs today from Buttonshy that I started before Covid!! I love seeing this merge of Board Games with arts/crafts. This is a great idea btw! I also just keep stuff on my iPad, but maybe if there is one that needs a physical form. :)
I use the plastic sleeves for the 3-ring binder and do not laminate… when I get to a game I ❤ and play a lot, then I may laminate it. The sleeves wipe fine for roll and writes 🙂
Great selection… I have a few new ones to check out.
Island Alone is definitely missing here :)
Just learned what a roll and write is from you! Thank you!!
Beautiful idea
This is great! Thanks for sharing what you've put together.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 😊
I have much the same way of doing things in my collection, though I use pocket folders instead of a binder. What I have started doing is trying the games out before laminating, so as not to waste resources (materials and time) laminating games that I will ultimately find out are not for me. Usually what I do - since I enjoy dry erase markers - is put the paper inside one of the clear folder covers and play it on the sheath, so I can then laminate the copy down the road if I enjoy. If not, it's a single sheet of paper I can then recycle.
That's honestly a great tip! Thank you! I might actually start playing the games before I laminate them as well. Fortunately I know I really enjoy roll and writes so I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy all of these but going forward that's a great way to do it. 👏🏻
I have just recently acquired a few print and play games and have been thinking about this type of thing as the number increases. This is such a great video and idea of how to organize all of these and keep them accessible and easy. Will have to look into doing something similar, soon!
Awesome! Glad I could help out! Was such a fun project to work on. 😊
We love print and play too, some great tips here.
Thank you so much for watching Libby and Julian! 😊 Glad I could give some tips!
Here are a bunch that have appealed to me....
Voyages
Aquamarine
Sunshine City
Wards of Stonefall
Robot Roll and Write
Kaikoro
Find the Source
Spies
Thanks for all the recommendations Alex! 😊👏🏻
Great idea for a video, i personally can't stand print and plays or roll and writes but that's really cool how you have organised it 😀
Thank you so much! Appreciate that. 😊 Definitely not for everyone!
I love Wayfarer's Tale, Catnap is an awesome little game.
I got the 52 week version of dungeon pages; so it going to need its own binder lol. But I love this and is something I wanna do with all my PnPs
I love PNParcade for finding PNP games. They have a huge library, both free and paid games.
YES! Love that website!
Thanks for the tip. Just bookmarked it for future reviee
Thanks for making this video!
No problem! It's been one on my list forever! It was so much fun! 🥰
I love that you made a PnP binder! I'm not as into roll & writes, but I played a few free PnP's over the past couple years and made some video overviews of some of them. The roll & writes (without printing extra cards) were: Raging Bulls, 30 Rails, Ada Lovelace (you already have it), Utopia Engine, Racing Stars, Paleontologists, Abstract, 13 Sheep, Pencil Park, Rollway Station, Rolling Village, and LANTERN.
YES! Ambie! You were like the only one I found doing PNP content! Love watching your videos on them! 🥰👏🏻 Thank you so much for all the great recommendations and also for engaging so much in the PNP channel on the Discord! Will look into all these you mentioned.
@@TheBoardGameGarden you’re welcome! And thanks for making this video - I got inspired to print out some more of the games on my huuuge “to-print” list of pnp games!
I didn't watch the whole video, but are you going to play these solo? I would receommend one of those "envelope files" (?) with tabs at the top. It's less aesthetically pleasing but more practical I guess. Because you can keep all the copies of each game inside one section if you are playing with others.
I Don't have a laminate machine so I just use the document sleeves so I can dry erase
Hey Jenna! Saw you at the Breakout Con. Wanted to say hi but didn't want to disrupt your game session. Hope you won that game of Dune Imperium!
Awh! You totally could have come up and said hi Eric! 😊 Hope your Breakout Con was great! What games did you get to play? I unfortunately got 3rd place! Was fighting for first pretty much the entire game then one guy came out of nowhere and passed me! 😂 It is a FANTASTIC game! Probably my favourite of the entire weekend. 👍🏻
@@TheBoardGameGarden We were adjacent from you, playing Sea Salt & Paper! Got to play lots of fun games but my fave was Lost Ruins of Arnak. I had Dune Imperium for the longest time and ppl compared the Arnak to it a lot. Really enjoyed it! Now I have both lol.
Near ends round for Dune Imperium is intense and its why I love it. Glad you had a great time too!
I use a 3 ring binder full of sheet protectors (so no need to laminate) and use vis a vis (wet erase) marker so that I don't accidentally erase with my hand like I normally do with expo (dry erase)
HAHA yeah after the fact when I switched to using the binder sleeves I realized I didn't actually have to laminate them but it was too late. 😂 Will probably use wet erase markers as well! I hate accidentally wiping off stuff!
Hoera for PnP and crafting! Another winter-themed R&W is Joe Hout's fun Snowpeople (& it's FREE!)
I can’t seem to find the print file?
All of his games are roll and write and he just gives them away.
I am currently exploring uses up plexiglass/acrylic clear sheets in dry erase pockets instead of lamination. I also will looking into magnification sheets.
I've only played Wayfarers Tale off this list but it is very good!
What a great video! I also love PnP games (probably because I'm also super into crafts haha) so this video is right upon my alley. :) Thank you for showcasing this super fun side of the hobby!!
PS: This made me wonder: have you ever done some crafts for board game accessories, like custom inserts, game pieces, boxes, or anything like that? Would love to eventually see a video on this if you have! :)
It's cool you ask that! I actually met someone at a recent convention that crafted some FANTASTIC things for her games (literally polymer clay cats and buttons for her copy of Calico! 👏🏻) and she inspired me to want to start making some stuff for my favourite games! Would love to make a crafty board game series eventually! 😊
@@TheBoardGameGarden That's super cool! I love polymer clay stuff, you get to bling out your game while also having a 100% unique copy, which is really neat. A crafty board game series also sounds great! In the meantime will continue watching all the other stuff you put out, thanks for the videos!
We need to see some pnp making and also setup and playthroughs please?
Are you able to just mark the binder sheets with a dry erase marker since they're plastic too? Might save on laminating them I think.
Yeup you totally can! I did all the laminating before I had to switch up my plan and use the sleeves! 😊👍🏻
What type of pen or marker do you use?
I found one called A Simple Life
I think it's supposed to be like Stardew Valley
yeah... you live and learn. Start small.
Laminating that much is expensive.
What size binder is that? 3inch 4 inch etc?
Would you consider a standard deck of cards as accessories, like Fliptown?
Yeah for sure! I considered printing out Fliptown! It was on the list. I think I might get the physical version of that one when it comes to retail though. 😊
You should try Island Alone. 😉
This one was on the list! 😊 Will definitely look into it when I get some of the ones I have played!
Not a "roll and write" but I'd highly recommend checking out "Alchemist's Apprentice", a solo pnp that came out in 2022 (won best overall game in the solitaire pnp bgg contest).
Ohhh I like the sound of that! Thanks! I'll look into it!
Jenna you’re so creative!! I like opened indesign and then got dizzy and exited out 😵💫 the book is such a good idea!!
P.s. I played motor city the other day are you proud 🥹
Awh thank you Tim! 😊 I'm really thankful for learning InDesign in college! It ended up being really helpful with a lot of stuff in my life. Work related and non work related! It definitely takes some practice though. I've been using it for like 8 years now. And yeessss Tim! SO PROUD! Did you enjoy it? 😏
How can you join discord roll and write?
Here is a link to the discord! discord.gg/kFRc5ZTVD2 😊
It's Really strange the lack of utopia engine in any list of PNP roll and writes
One of the best pnps ever. My absolute favorite.
@@sewaprolo the second one is maybe even better
@@ironartur there's a second one? Omg!
@@sewaprolo Utopia Engine: Beast Hunter
@@ironartur thank you! Gonna check it out.
