Hey PI-Fans,
More boxes open, more games come out.
This week sees a pair of strategy games coming off the pallet with the tile placement games Town 77 by Oink Games and Superstore 3000 by Space Cowboys. On the lighter party end of the food chain, anyone looking for a card game of questionable implications would be remiss to overlook Horrible Therapist by Exploding Kittens games.
We’ll keep the games flowing and the boxes moving on our end folks. Hope to see you in the store for some casual gaming or hobby sessions sometime.
In the meantime, as always, Play Games, Have Fun!
- Kenneth, PI Games Manager
Horrible Therapist is a game by Exploding Kittens about making comics with unpleasant implications.
During a turn of Horrible Therapist, players compete to create the funniest, most unhinged comic by submitting answer cards to complete a prompt.
Playing is easy. You’ll make 3 panel comics about it with your friends. You’ll laugh. You’ll gasp. You’ll be mildly offended (in a fun way).
The player who puts down the funniest final card wins, turning therapy into a hilarious and darkly entertaining experience where your intrusive thoughts help you win this adult card game!
Horrible Therapist
3 to 6 Players, 15 mins, Ages 17+
The residents of Town 77 — located just down the road from Town 66, mind you — can’t stand it when houses with the same shape or color are lined up with each other. Try to build as many houses as you can while keeping in mind which houses in your hand can be built at the end.
In Town 77, each player has a hand of tiles, with each tile showing one of seven house styles in one of seven colors/patterns. =
Each turn, players can add tiles to a 7×7 grid of lots so long as this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and the color/house style isn’t already present in that row and column. After playing a tile, a player can choose to draw a new tile or not. Once you lower your hand size, you can’t increase it again. If you can’t play on a turn, you’re eliminated from the round, and once everyone is out, whoever has the fewest tiles in hand wins.

Welcome to Superstore 3000, the retro-futuristic mall building game where you must build the tallest and most incredible mall to satisfy as many customers as possible.
In this retro-future tile laying game, each player builds their own mall by placing shop tiles, expansions and entrances in order to fulfil customer needs, attract unique attractions and become the most exceptional building.
Not only will budding mall engineers need to anticipate customer demand and ensure shop layouts are within reach but the ‘Dispenser 3000’ which affects the cost of tiles requires some thinking ahead and spending to avoid opponents snatching up the assets you need.
Superstore 3000
2 to 4 Players, 30-45 mins, Ages 10+
