Fit to Print is a puzzly tile-laying game about breaking news, designed by Peter McPherson and set in Thistletown, the charming woodland world created by Ian O’Toole.
The front page is due in just a few hours and you have no time for perfection. Grab the big stories before the other papers get a chance, and make sure you get the right photos too. A newspaper is a business, so the money has to come from somewhere — don’t forget the ads!
Fit To Print is a tile-laying game for the whole family. Set the timer for 5,4, or 3 minutes, press go! Players simultaneously race to grab newspaper tiles, placed face-down in a pile, stacking them face-up on their desks until they think they have what they need to make the perfect front page. Then, they will yell “Layout!” and begin to lay out the page by carefully considering the placement of centerpieces, articles, photographs, and advertisements. When everything is just right, they yell “Print” to be the first off the press and gain their choice of centerpiece for the next round! Game consists of 3 rounds - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday front pages, each slightly larger than the last.
With three variations of play (real-time, turn-based, in teams), Fit to Print is a well thought-out, graphically
delightful game.
