THE 25 GAMES

PRINT AND PLAY

For the full-page PDFs, print single-sided at Actual Size / 100%. For the 2-up PDFs, print landscape and cut each sheet along the center line; use Fit to Printable Area if your printer clips the edges. Test one sheet first. Choose only the games you plan to use. Keep logical pages 41-54 with the host until the rounds are finished. The full-page editions preserve the largest game text.

Print both Spot the Difference pictures in color; some differences rely on color. Use clear, high-quality printing for picture games. Cut the Act It or Draw It cards along their dashed borders; cardstock is optional. Bring pens, scissors, drawing paper and a timer. Players may pass on personal prompts.
