7 Wonders Architects – Building Upon The Shoulders Of Giants

7 WONDERS: ARCHITECTS NOW AVAILABLE AT GAMES @ PI AND WEBSTORE Hey PI-Fans, It's taken a long, meandering road, but 7 Wonders: Architects, a new addition to the 7 Wonders family of games has hit our shelves. Comfortably slotting itself in between the two-player head to head gameplay of 7 Wonders Duel and the full complexity of a game of regular 7 Wonders sits Architects, making it an excellent introductory title for new players getting into the hobby. This streamlined approach makes it far more approachable especially for people starting out who might find themselves overwhelmed with the scope and complexity of the mainline title.   7 Wonders Architects borrows many of the resource management and draft aspects from 7 Wonders but makes a conscious effort to avoid overloading players with choices. Each turn, a player may draft resources from one of three cards presented to them which they will [...]

Goblin Slayer – Coming Full Circle

Hey PI-Fans, We've snagged a small quantity of Yen Press' localization of the Goblinslayer Tabletop Roleplaying Game.

Books to Up Your Game

Hey PI-Fans, For the curious, one of the little personal pleasures of running a game store is that occasionally you can exercise a little discretion. A little rack of non-fiction books nestled on a shelf might seem offbeat and quirky, but for the curious, this little curated range of titles is a little treasure trove of the things we find absolutely fascinating about the industry as a whole. As part of the ongoing efforts to ensure that our catalogue is available through our webstore, the time has come for this little hidden pocket of gems to become available online as well. The range shifts and varies as titles wander in-and-out of stock, often small print runs from publishers, and the topics can run the gamut from a short essay on Game Mastering by RPG industry veteran Robin Laws (of D&D fame), wargaming design diaries from Rick Priestley (one of the [...]

BattleTech – A Universe of Warfare

Hey PI-Fans, BattleTech - 31st Century Armored Combat is on our Webstore   It's no secret that many of the people who run Games @ PI are BattleTech fans. For the uninitiated, BattleTech is a science fiction war-game universe set in the 30th Century, where giant walking tanks known as BattleMechs dominate the neofeudal battlefields of the future. Unlike many other science fiction properties, alien sentience isn't a big thing, so the universe retains a grounded in a Human way. It's an inviting setting and a huge sandbox, with plenty of space for players to mess about within the confines of canon. As part of our range revamp, it's also now on our webstore.

Stella – A Dixit Universe Game

Hey PI-Fans, If you're a fan of Dixit, you owe it yo yourself to check out Stella - A Dixit Universe Game, now available at Games @ PI and via our webstore.

Gone is the storyteller. Instead players try to match the classic Dixit artwork to theme words, secretly trying to ensure that their points of view line up with another player (and preferably only one) while attempting to balance that against the number of cards selected and trying not the be the person who chose the largest portfolio of picture cards. Featuring the same stunning art-style of classic Dixit cards, Stella can be played on it's own, but cards from Dixit and [...]
