ADLi Print & Play
Print ‘N Play has really made access to board games possible for those who don’t/can’t get access to games locally. Especially on the indie game front PnP, as it’s more common termed, has given designers the flexibility to playtest and distribute games to players around the world while keeping production costs down. BGG has an excellent category on PnP games which you can access at any time. There are literally thousands to choose from, and that’s just through BGG alone. There are a lot of other stand alone PnP sites out there, either providing access to games from their own designers or a collection from other designers not directly affiliated. There is no reason why anyone can’t play a board game or a card game or even a dice game. The majority of the games are free and all one needs to set it up is access to a printer and a little patience to cut and or glue and or assemble.
ADLi will also be offering PnP games as part of our development feedback and Share & Share alike swap program. PnPs will be available through post as they become available and on the main site menu. Currently in the works for Pnp are:
StormGate // A two player game pitting 7 on 7 in a battle for supremacy. A knight and 6 soldiers maneuver their way across a 6×4 grid board to capture the enemies gate. The concept is similar to capture the flag and plays very similar to Euro and Chinese chess, but more compact. It’s a game of pure strategic forethought.
Imperial Court // The game of influence will hopefully hit tables this November for public play testing. Imperial Court is a micro game based around players arranging their delegation in a sort of fashion to win the votes of the kingdom. Jealousy, deception and favour is the language of the courts.
Broken Lance Lite // A game of action, honour, and a steady hand. Players draw and drop cards, planning their best attack and then roll to complete their strike, all for admiration and the hand of the fair maiden. From medieval times to your kitchen table, bring the tilt home and experience the glory and defeat of noble knights.
Summit: The Great Race v1.3
Game board has updated a bit since the initial draft. The design is coming together nicely and I’m really excited about building this out in a full wood board fashion. Stained and painted grid, wood rolling stick, the works.
A huge thank you
A big, heartfelt appreciation goes out to all FanExpo visitors who stopped by to chat a little with me during the show. For anyone who chose to stick around while I rambled about my game crafting and decided to Like and follow and subscribe to my feeds leave me doubly blessed. All in all it was a fantastic show, again, for ADLi and my expectations were superseeded by the presence and test play from avid chess players. StormGate did fairly better than it did last year. Word-a-about again astonished me by drawing in the most attention, gathering interest with both Scrabble and non-Scrabble fans. Imperial Court, though presented late in the show, held it’s own but as to be expected held very little attention due to it being so new and a straight forward to play.
Victor, the gentleman that I was sharing the table with, had come up with a game idea at the show in which we shared the first playtest with two unsuspecting patrons. They liked it, and we worked out the kinks on the fly. It was great. Expect another title to be published here through ADLi.
There are more updates to come which will be posted on the and other downloadable stuff, including game info and Print & Play copies of the games I’ve demoed at the show. I’d like to hear from you. Your feedback is important to development of these games and we hope to share the full production version of the game with you in the near future.
Summit: The great race
Ancient games don’t always have to be ancient. Here is a game design for those that enjoy the classics, like Senet , Ludo and Ur.
Yes, I’m still here and still making things that make me happy. Speaking of which, I’m happy to announce ‘Summit’ (The Great Race). Two teams of 5 race to the summit of a mountain ridge where their camps are located. The course is laced with tunnels, laden with rocky paths and a sink hole along the upper most ridge. The goal is to be the first to get your whole team into camp. Crossing paths with your opponents, using tunnels for short cuts and pairing up to protect your teammates are all part of the fun.
Play tested today with 4 people and it’s Mother Approved! so far. Print ‘N Play coming soon, along with game manual and video tutorial.
*PnP versions of my other games to be added to soon.
