Webstore Updates – July 20, 2020

Hey PI-Fans, The last couple of weeks have been something of a mad scramble to keep apace with preorders for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Indomitus Box Set. We're still taking preorders for the 'Made-to-Order' wave until July 23rd but we've also taken some time to expand our online board game range. Perhaps, you're in the mood for a quiet two-player board game? Joining our usual recommendations like Jaipur, Codenames Duet and Onitama is Rivals for Catan, a neat little head-to-head implementation of the great Catan gameplay. Looking for something more rowdy? Try the party games King of Tokyo (and the slick noir themed King of Tokyo Dark) and smash the city (and your friends) in a fast moving Kaiju romp. Or test your spatial skills in a high-speed race to assemble a customer order in Bubble Tea. If you're after something a bit more (or less cerebral) depending on your [...]

MASS MUTATION and others!

Hey PI-Fans, Games @ PI will be open at 1.30pm today.  It’s been a week of releases, with the arrival of Arkham Horror: The Blob That Ate Everything, the light strategy card game Origami Legends and the adorable plush dice rolling game Stoplight. We’re of course capping this off with the release of Keyforge: Mass Mutation Archon Packs. Keyforge is Richard Garfield’s latest 2-player collectable deck game, featuring a brand new ready to-play deck in every pack. There’s literally no downtime – you just crack open the box and get straight to playing. If you’ve never heard of Keyforge, we’ll get you up to speed. To celebrate the launch of Mass Mutation, all previously released Keyforge will be going at 30% off until the 31st of July. So… after you wrap up your civic duty, why not drop by and crack a deck or two with us? […]

New This Week – July 1, 2020

Hey everyone! Welcome to July! How's your week been so far? Boss Kenneth is uber busy today so I'm jumping in to tell you guys about the New Releases this week! (I'm Christine by the way, nice to meet cha!) First up, we have... Ecos: First Continent   'Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to!' Pfft! Says who? What if you had the power to create the Earth as you like it? In Ecos: First Continent, players take on the role as primordial forces who are to shape the World's first continent at the dawn of time. The aim of the game is to score the most points by building as much of the natural landscape as possible; filling it with flora and fauna. The interesting thing about this game is players play simultaneously.  Means as you're happily building your savannas [...]

Forbidden Island Review

Since the release of his modern classic Pandemic, Matt Leacock has developed something of a reputation as the guru of Cooperative board games. Forbidden Island is one of his stand-out release, a distillation of cooperative game mechanics into a simple single-box release that serves as an excellent introduction to the whole genre. As a speedy 2 to 4 player experience, Forbidden Island is an excellent take on the hand-management and board control elements of many other cooperative games and is a must-have addition to any budding board game collection. TLDR: Forbidden Island is a highly recommended first step into the realm of cooperative board games, featuring excellent components and easy to learn gameplay. Players must manage their resources as they explore a sinking island, working against the clock to retrieve all the island’s treasures before the entire board sinks and they collectively lose. As a cooperative game, this excellent all-win [...]

New For You

Hey PI-Fans,The Games @ PI team has been hard at work slowly chewing through our backlog of titles and I’d like to seize on this opportunity to feature a pair of titles new to the webstore; Walking in Burano and Seikatsu: A Pet’s Life. Seikatsu: A Pet’s Life is an abstract tile playing game of adorable animals. Players plop down a mass of pets lounging on cushions, while trying to form large collections of animals to score. Placement becomes even more important in the end game as the arrangement of coloured cushions, relative to each player scores them additional points, so players must consider where they are putting down pets for proper points. Walking in Burano is a card drafting game about building and decorating houses in Burano, a beautiful island of Venice. In Walking in Burano, players draft floor cards featuring different personal decor items to build three floor [...]

Spaces, Races and Special Places

Hey PI-Fans,You know how the game works. We’re still plugging away at work as always.This week feels oddly like it’s centred on a slab of space and adventure themed games. Entirely unplanned of course, but between the Warhammer 40,000 Talisman spinoff Relic, galaxy conquest wargame Star Wars: Rebellion, the Mars colonization themed Terraforming Mars and the ever wacky Galaxy Truckers, it’s really hard not to think this wasn’t planned.It wasn’t.On the other hand, we’re also adding a new Book section to the website containing both a smattering of Fiction and Non-Fiction titles. As with all things, we hope to grow this in the future to encompass a great many more titles, but in the meantime, we strongly recommend Gary Ray’s excellent Friendly Local Game Store, an acerbic but witty at the joys and tribulations of running a business in this industry.We’ll keep chipping away at the backlog as we work [...]

Ticket to Ride: London Review

Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner That I love London soMaybe it’s because I’m a LondonerThat I think of her wherever I goI get a funny feeling inside of meJust walking up and downMaybe it’s because I’m a LondonerThat I love London town. Ticket to Ride: London is a new entry in designer Alan R. Moon’s Ticket to Ride family of games and it carries all the pedigree of its bigger brothers, distilled down into a nippy fast playing form.Designed to convey the strategy and depth of Ticket to Ride, while keeping playing time down to a half hour or less, Ticket to Ride: London (and her half-sister Ticket to Ride: New York), in a departure from traditional Ticket to Ride, take place in a single condensed city map. In Ticket to Ride: London, this is obviously the titular City of London, giving you a chance to ride the buses [...]
