I wandered into a tabletop forum and discovered this thing that is apparently well known.
The website is https://boardgamegeek.com/.
I did a quick search and the site was linked a few times. But there was one thing that I completely missed. They are called Solitaire Print and Play contests. Basically 1-player table top games. Free. You have to sign up for the website and go to the “File” part of the game you want to print. It’s pdf and a lot of them need color printers.
Anyway, this would have been nice for millions of people who were quarantined with nothing to do. I feel it was a missed opportunity but no helping that now.
Thank goodness the same guy organizes the contests so it was easy to find.
I personally have my steam library for games. But if any of you are tabletop enthusiasts, I didn’t want you to miss this.
EDIT:
The most recent contest has taken place so that is why I’m updating this topic. Not to mention lockdowns are returning.
A lot of games were put on a google drive or somewhere else so I kept the game but I don’t want to link to a random link for you guys so I linked to their entry thread so you can decide for yourself.
Oh noooooooo. There is a character limit of 32,000 per post. I can only fit the 2020 contest in this post. I guess I’ll reply to this post with the previous contests and link to my own post.
Ewwwwww. Having a long list doesn’t look nice. I’ll try to pretty it up before I post the other contests.
