The PDF files are unlocked, so you can print them out as spare parts to replace your worn-out original game parts if you need to. Alternatively, print out the games and play them instead of wearing-out your original game! These electronic copies will not fade or wear out, they’re yours to keep for life! Compiled, checked and produced by a veteran player of these superb games, you will now be able to replace missing or damaged components of your original games with ease!

 

In addition, many of the games come with Avalon Hill General articles published on that game.
