Tiny Epic Cthulhu, Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs and Coffee Rush – 05/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, Halloween's just over, but here at Games @ PI, we're believers that nothing is ever quite too late for Cthulhu. The great folks at Gamelyn have pushed out a brand-new Tiny Epic title, this time taking a teeny tiny swing at making a pocket sized Cthulhu game with the aptly named Tiny Epic Cthulhu and its expansion Cult of Chaos. Keeping with the theme of big games in small boxes comes an all new Gloomhaven title with the portable solo-player outing Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs, letting you take your itty-bitty board game adventure everywhere with you. If the horror and adventure themed games don't mesh well with you or your playgroup and you want something competitive though, there is always Coffee Rush, a comfy little action management set collection game by Korea Boardgame where competing Baristas attempt to rush around their workstations serving customers as fast as possible in [...]

Criminal Capers and To Boldly Go – 03/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, Even as we inch into Novemember and the store prepares to load up for the year end Holiday Rush, the demand for new board games to excite the senses doesn't stop. Sure, we could just celebrate the fact that things like Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Root and Wyrmspan are topped up on the shelves, but if you're here for new possibilities, those don't do as much. Instead, we'll focus on the arrival of CGE's Starship Captains and Wiggles 3D's real-time cooperative investigative game 5-Minute Mystery.   Just moments before the Museum of Everything was set to unveil its newest exhibit, the priceless MacGuffin, some criminal snuck in and stole it! Now it's up to you, a team of detectives, to crack the case, find the culprit, and recover the missing MacGuffin. Like a cooperative of Guess Who, 5-Minute Mystery sees a team of players working together to [...]

Warhammer Previews and a… general sneak peek…

Hey PI-Fans, Games Workshop has announced its annual X'Mas Box set waves. We still have no idea what these will be worth but from past experiences, they tend to be incredibly limited. Warhammer 40,000 launches with an Adepta Sororitas, Necron, T'au Empire, Dark Angel and Imperial Knight Battleforce, while Age of Sigmar leads with Maggotkin of Nurgle, Ironjawz, Flesh-Eater Courts and Cities of Sigmar. Give us a shout if you want one. Each Battleforce requires a $100 deposit that counts towards the final price of the box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoCcIn4Rhx4 https://youtu.be/1BRpuMViUqs   On a more intriguing note... The Games At PI game-shelter shelf is live. Come check it out for last-chance-to-buy items, final copies or even random special bundles. The shelf is updated regularly, so pop in and check it out!

See Food (Eat Food) – I’m A Little Crabby, Fishy, Squishy, Crusty & Quirky and Evolution: New World – 17/09/24

Hey PI-Fans, Something running through this week's releases seems to be the theme of edibility. On the lighter side of things are the Exploding Kittens' card game  I'm a Little Crabby, and Unstable Games' Fishy, Squishy, Crusty & Quirky. Anyone wanting something slightly more serious can look into Evolution: New World by CrowD games.   I'm a Little Crabby is a rebranding of the somewhat more scandalously named You've Got Crabs, though it continues to maintain Exploding Kittens brand of quirkyness. In I'm a Little Crabby, teams of two players secretly agree on a hidden action to signal to the other player that that player has successfully drawn a hand of matching Crab cards. When their teammate notices, they will point at the player and shout "You're a little crabby!" If they’re right, that team gets a point. If they’re wrong, that team loses a point. However if a player [...]

Store Restocks – 10/09

Hey PI-Fans, Apologies for the minimal updates so far this month. September has been crazy so far, and we figured it would probably work better for us to focus on keeping the store full of product. Sourcing has see a couple of classic titles run a touch low, so we figure you'll want to know what's back. On the party game front, Really Loud Librarians has popped back up on the shelf, ready to keep you all bellowing words at each other. Likewise Poetry for Neanderthals and it's expansions are back for all your word whacking needs. Keeping on the theme of indiscriminate violence, Let's Hit Each Other with Fake Swords presents an excellent means to resolve any disputed card draw by literally having players bludgeon each other into submission with fake swords. If you were after something a touch more serious, Wingspan and it's expansions have come home to [...]

In this plane-enveloping House, evil manifests Nightmares and Glitch Ghosts, sends Razorkin into a frenzy, and turns toys and shadows lethal. Come play with us – if you dare. The upcoming Magic: The Gathering Set Duskmourn takes a running leap from Magic's traditional fantasy epic aesthetic and plunges headfirst into the transgressive, edgy stylings of 80's Horror Flicks. In Duskmourn: House of Horror, players will dare to enter a plane-enveloping House where their fears come to life. Aping the style of horror classics, Duskmourn's aesthetics is a heady mix of Saw meets the Ring, with a healthy splash of Nightmare on Elm Street, The Shining and just the faintest hint of Ghostbusters for flavor. We’re taking preorders for this set, so if you want some, let us know. The Preorders closes 25/8/24. No refunds for cancellation. All orders must be placed with full deposit (Deposit will be refunded in the event [...]
