ABOUT

Create a printable game using one 1 sheet of paper. No coding experience required! Just grab a sheet of paper and get designing. Use Twitter Hashtag #PaperJam2017

You can follow me @Stuart_Lilford on Twitter to be updated about any rule changes or news related to this jam.

RULES

- Use only ONE sheet of paper, but BOTH sides CAN be used - so that if you print the game on both sides of paper it only uses one sheet (The reverse side of the paper could be used for the instructions for your game, but this isn't a requirement).

- The game can be single player or it can be multiplayer. Note: for multiplayer games, you are allowed for the game to require multiple copies of the same print for each player, just as long as there is no difference between the prints. Only ONE sheet of paper can be used. You can also have multiple players using one print.

- You are allowed to require players to do anything with the paper (fold it, tear it, write on it, anything) as long as it still only uses one sheet of paper.

- You can use any materials or software you like to produce your prints, PhotoShop, pencils, markers, paints, MS Paint, Microsoft Office, anything you like!

Nice idea for a jam. 

You did not explicitly specify the size of the paper?

P.S.: The link to your twitter account is wrong.

[ScaredSquare]

Thanks! I fixed the link.

I did not specify the paper size as I think some countries have different standard paper sizes? For example, we use A4 here in the UK, but not sure if that's the case for the US.

[Zorg]

As i wrote it, i was wondering the same, too. US Standard letter seems to be ~ 216 x 279 mm (vs. A4 210 x 297 mm). Maybe you could include "letter" somewhere.
