Has anyone played any interesting print-and-play tabletop games recently? I'm looking around for some good ones but don't know where to start 
I haven't played any, but I've come across a few.
Console: Handheld is
Valent Games's pocket version of their video game-themed title
Console (also available in
Super Console format). They also have several other pocket games, and almost all are Pay-What-You-Want, which means you can just put in "0" if you want.
Then there's
Dungeon Delvers, which is basically a 1-page D&D-style game, also Pay-What-You-Want.
Lady Blackbird is a bit larger than the others I've mentioned, coming in at 16 pages, but they're mostly character sheets with the rules printed on them, so I think it pretty well qualifies for print-and-play. Also, it's a game I hear a lot of praise for.
From the same designer of Lady Blackbird comes
Lasers & Feelings, a 1-page space game. And I've also found a hack of it called
Tactical Waifu, which is about anime girls (PWYW product).
If you're just looking for a game that doesn't require the players to have books at all to play or understand the rules,
Apocalypse World and games derived from it like
Dungeon World have
playbooks that, like Lady Blackbird, have character sheets that contain all the rules players will need to know (actually, I guess they'll also need the Basic Move sheets). It's possible you might even be able to get away with just using the playbooks, though I haven't checked. At least once you've learned the rules I think you can run with just that.
