We send out a monthly mailing of PLAAY Games freebies and publish a full newsletter quarterly, posted on the last Monday of every month.

The newsletter features PLAAY Games news, insights, commentary and design notes, and is a great way to peek "behind the scenes" and find out what's going on at PLAAY Games. We use the newsletter to announce upcoming product releases and events, and to shine the spotlight on community members for their contributions and accomplishments.

We're big fans of "value-added," so along with the news, insights, commentary and design notes of the newsletter, each issue includes multiple "freebies," like special edition cards, a new optional chart for a game, or possibly experimental ideas for games that are still on the drawing board. In non-newsletter months, "the PLAAY Stub Sports Ping" arrives in your box with a quick hit of freebies and news links.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, just contact us with your name and e-mail address!
