Race to Create the Perfect Front Page!

Welcome to Thistleville, a bustling woodland town where there's always a story waiting to make the headlines!

In Fit to Print, you become the editor of a local newspaper, racing to gather the most interesting stories, photographs, and advertisements before arranging them into the perfect front page. The challenge? You have limited space, limited time, and competing editors trying to scoop the same stories.

Designed by Peter McPherson and beautifully illustrated by Ian O’Toole, Fit to Print combines real-time tile drafting, spatial puzzle-solving, pattern building, grid coverage, and set collection in a charming woodland setting.

Over the course of three hectic days, you'll gather newspaper tiles, arrange your front page, balance articles and advertisements, and race to be the first editor to send your paper to print.

How to Play Fit to Print

A game of Fit to Print takes place over three days, with each day representing another edition of your newspaper.

At the beginning of a round, players simultaneously gather newspaper tiles from the available supply. You’ll collect a combination of Articles, Photos, and Advertisements, stacking your selections on your personal desk as you decide what your front page needs.

Once you've collected enough tiles, shout "Layout!"

Now the real puzzle begins.

Arrange your newspaper tiles onto your front-page board, carefully considering how the different shapes and categories fit together. Your layout needs to make efficient use of your available space while satisfying scoring requirements.

When your front page is ready, shout "Print!"

The first player to finish can claim their choice of available Centerpiece for the next round, adding another strategic incentive to work quickly.

What’s Included

The 120 newspaper tiles include 57 Article tiles, 29 Photo tiles, and 34 Advertisement tiles.
