A useful little collection

Classic paper and pencil games

A surprising number of good games fit inside a notebook. This collection keeps the old rules, removes the clutter, and gives you a clean online or printable way to start.

Why these games last

Paper games survive because they are portable, teach themselves quickly and leave room for personality. A few lines can become a tactical board. A blank word can become a guessing game. Six dots can become Sim, a mathematical game in which somebody must eventually lose.

Use the site, then leave it

Just Paper Games is deliberately happy for you to print a page and close the browser. The printable library includes a clean sheet for every playable game, and we will keep refining the layouts as the collection grows.
