Azul Duel, Mr Wolf, Ubongo,The Brain Game to Go – 04/03/25

Hey PI-Fans, We've unpacked another pile of board games this week, with a new kids title, a two player board game and a pocket puzzle making their way onto the shelves. The big ticket for this week is Azul Duel, a two player variant of the classic board game Azul. Featuring a variant scoring system rebalancing the tile drafting mechanic that defines Azul for a two-player showdown, Azul Duel deserves a spot in the collection for anyone looking for a neat two-player experience. Parents looking to getting the young 'uns started with gaming, can take a look at Mr Wolf, a kid friendly memory game themed around finding barnyard animals and hustling them back to the barn before night falls and Mr Wolf comes out. Rounding out this week is an amazing pocket-sized puzzle Ubongo - The Brain Game to Go, a tiny puzzle-based adaptation of the Ubongo speed game, [...]

Town 77, Superstore 3000, Horrible Therapist – 25/02/25

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 [...]

Survive the Island, Seti, Heat Heavy Rain – 19/02/25

Hey PI-Fans, As we continue working our way through the pallets, it's time for the hernia inducing big boxes. After much swearing, loading these down the stairs through the building's back entrance, we've hauled the cooperative crowd pleaser SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence up to the store. For those seeking a lighter title (both literally and figuratively), the HEAT expansion HEAT - Heavy Rain has also come in alongside the headliner, adding new wrinkles to the race. Survive the Island on the other hand is lighter still, being a reimplementation of the much sought after 1982 board game classic Survive: The Escape from Atlantis. There's an equal share of weird stuff along for the ride, including the official BattleTech cookbook, 'Chandrasekhar Kurita's The Art of Food - Recipes of the Inner Sphere' if you're looking for an absolute oddball in-universe product. Here's to a great week of gaming and we hope [...]

Lego Monkey? Lego Monkey. – Monkey Palace, That Escalated Quickly – Grab & Game and Command of Nature: Sand & Wind – 10/02/25

Hey PI-Fans, While restocking the shelves, we've taken the opportunity to crack open a couple of newly arrived boxes and load the shelves up with several new titles. First up are a pair of fancy bite sized pieces of fun from both Unstable Games, publisher of Unstable Unicorns and Exploding Kittens Games. Unstable Games' Sand and Wind Expansion for the Command of Nature deck building adds in a pair of additional Elemental Sages, while Exploding Kittens pops out the Grab & Game edition of That Escalated Quickly allowing you to keep the player arranging cooperative game on you in pocket form. The largest box of the trio is Monkey Palace, a family game where players stack Lego bricks (Yes, actual Lego Bricks) to outscore their opponents by pleasing the watching Lego monkey figure through a combination of clever construction and decoration. This is on top of the usual spread of [...]

Store Reloads – Splendor: The Silk Road and UNLOCK! Supernatural Adventures – 05/02/25

Hey PI-Fans, The port CNY backlogs are beginning to ease and several pallets of stuff are beginning to slip through the cracks. While this week's slab of stuff touching down is primarily restocks, there's still a couple of titles that are worth bringing to your attention, specifically The Silk Road expansion for the 2nd edition of Splendor as well as the brand new Supernatural Adventures set for Unlock! Meanwhile, drifting in aboard the tide are reloads of titles like Azul Chocolatier, Azul Mini, Pandemic Legacy, The Crew and HEAT for the discerning gaming looking for a bit more depth in their gaming, while the battered party-game shelf is awash with reloads of sought after titles like Poetry for Neanderthals, I'm a Little Crabby and the delightfully named Let's Hit Each Other With Fake Swords! Also making it back onto the shelves for our ever popular Dungeon Crawler range are titles [...]

Just a couple of Stonemaier titles to build things forward a bit.

Hey PI-Fans, If you enjoy the little satisfaction of building things that last, boy is 2025 not looking great in that regard - the collapse of the Diamond Comic Distribution company (along with its game distribution arms) has cast a bit of a pall over the industry and indicated that the year 2025 has every intention of coming out of the gate acting spicy.  For those of us who game though, at least there's board games for those of us who want to experience the joy of a little successful chill. To that end, we're always up for a bit of Wingspan. Birds are nice. They would never... To that end, we're always up for a bit of Wyrmspan. Dragons are nice. Also fictional, so they would never crap on us. Wingspan, its 2-player Standalone Expansion Wingspan Asia and Wyrmspan are amazingly pretty low-interaction euro-style game with players working to [...]

Meadow, Dobble and 5211 Reloads – 26/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, It can't be the big ones every week (and by most standards Blood on the Clocktower is plenty big) so this week we've taken a moment to take a look at the ever popular Dobble range. Known as Spot It in the US and Dobble just about anywhere else, in keeping with the idea that you can paste just about anything on a Dobble set, they've done quite a few. From the Classic Dobble, to Animals, DC, Harry Potter and Star Wars Characters, there's now a dearth of Dobble variants for your needs. The icing on the cake however is the Dobble Anarchy Pancakes, a collab between the Dobble crew and the wacky minds at The Exploding Kittens Company.  Anarchy Pancakes takes a spin on the original matching formula with the introduction of single image cards which are significantly harder to spot matches with and get rid of [...]

Blood on the Clocktower, Unstable Unicorns Expansions, Unlock Kids – Legend Stories, Apiary – 19/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, It's been a hot minute but the tide of stock, both big and small, continues to roll in. The headliner this time around is the large-scale social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower, a murder mystery game where a group of players must find the demon within their midst before the town falls victim to its predation. The worker-placement game Apiary is an option for those of the more serious bent, with swarms of uplifted bees engaging in space exploration and colonization in order to win the favor of the hive's queen. The lighter end of the scale sees expansions for Unstable Unicorns arrive, with the Nightmares, Adventures and Unicorns of Legend sets ready to bulk out any copy of Unstable Unicorns or the Unstable Unicorns NSFW edition. If you're entertaining a child while the games are underway, Unlock! Kids - Legendary Stories is another tool in the [...]
