Print & Play Game Observation

      Over the past few days, I have been doing some research on Print & Play games. These particular games are exactly what their name suggests, printing a downloaded file, cutting out the pieces, and playing the game. Many P&P games (or rather most that I have seen) are not very well constructed. several games I came across were complete copies of video games, just turned into tabletop form; however, there were a few very well designed games out there. this particular game, URBAN-OPS: the card game, was probably one of the best P&P games I found. while playing this game, I recognized many similarities between it and the tabletop miniature board game: Warhammer 40,000. the designer of this game invested a lot of time into creating it, each character was unique with their own set of skills and illustrations. Unfortunately, the designer abandoned this project before it reached its final stage. This game had much potential and could have eventually made it into commercial production.
