Hello There.

For centuries, Cheapass Games have worked quietly behind the scenes, creating amazing tabletop games for the betterment of all Mankind.

As we enter the fifth phase of our complicated life cycle, Cheapass Games have become even more complex and beautiful, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, which was once a moth, which was once a crysalis, which was once a differnt moth.

On May 20, 2025, we received notice from our erstwhile licensees at Flat River Group, nullifying the deal under which their subsidiary Greater Than Games were the sole publishers of the Cheapass Games brand. This is exceptional news with massive ramifications, and it means that more than a hundred games have returned to our control, at least a few of which must be worth keeping. We are still working to recover some assets such as trademarks and URLS, but the catalog is now squarely back with us.

We will soon start enthusiastically releasing new and updated versions of some of your favorite Cheapass Games, though we are not yet certain which ones. This reversion has been a long time coming, but for the moment it’s still a bit of a surprise.

For the time being, you can still access a vast catalog of free original Cheapass Games PDFs at Cheapassic Park, the Game Preserve at Crab Fragment Labs. If there’s something you’d like to see there, please let us know.

Stay tuned for more news as we gather our wits and our strength.

We hope you’ll join us in clicking on all the things, and learning more about Cheapass Games. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your time at play!

And, for the entertainment of our hardestcore fans, we bring you the celebrated “How Much Should I Pay” bar chart first introduced 2012.
