Came for the Giant Robots, Stayed for the Politics – A BattleTech Guided Tour

Hey PI-Fans, There's an old hoary chestnut that comes up amongst BattleTech fans about new technology. Time marches on though. Technical Readout 3067 is twenty years old. The now defunct MechWarrior: Dark Age collectable miniatures game launched that year as well. Catalyst Game Labs has stewarded the BattleTech liscence for longer than FASA at this point.  It's been some thirty-real world years since the original Clan Invasion storyline, and there's been some big movers and shakers in the Inner Sphere since. With the ongoing timeline now trundling forward into uncharted waters, it's a great time to get up to speed. Here's a penny tour of the BattleTech universe. Expect Spoilers, if decades old plot reveals can actually be considered spoilers.   The Universe of Warfare that many of us have grown to love and/or tolerate effectively departs from our own in 2018 when two scientists - Thomas Kearny and Takayoshi [...]

Henry Audubon’s TRAILS is now on the Webstore

Hey PI-Fans, Henry Audubon's TRAILS is now available on the Games @ PI Webstore Almost a midpoint between it's larger siblings Parks and Space Park, Trails manages to streamline the overall experience without falling into the passive-aggressive action manipulation of Space Park, allowing for a quieter, more contemplative experience that doesn't overstay it's welcome.  In line with being an amazing little game that can be played on a coffee-table sized surface, Trails is a brilliantly smart little minimalistic game about players maximizing their limited options. All things considered, for such a tiny little box, Trails is surprisingly pretty dense in terms of contents. The modular board is actually a pretty nice detail allowing for multiple different possible setups and is an inspired way to track the game's day/night cycle. This isn't to say it's better than it's siblings either. Henry Audubon has somehow managed to create a unique tempo and [...]

Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo’s Snow Day! Now Available

Hey PI-Fans, Another week, another release. This time, its Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo's Snow Day!, a wacky programming themed cooperative board game where players must work together to send a little robot friend careening across the board like a cat on a roomba. Well... there actually IS A CAT ON A ROOMBA... In Quirky Circuits, players must successfully program a set of sequential actions for their little robot buddies using their command cards without communication. Chase down dust bunnies with the vacuum cleaning Gizmo and collect flags on a slalom course with the skiing Penny the Penguin! Players have only limited information as to which cards their teammates have played, raising the stakes with each action played. Program wrongly and your robo-friend could be left spinning its wheels in a corner as they run out of batteries. This adorable little logic puzzler is playable at 2-4 players, with [...]

Trails – A New Parks Game

Hey PI-Fans, Are you looking for elegant little game small enough to stuff in a pocket? Consider Henry Audubon's TRAILS, a tiny reimplementation of his nature focused Parks and rocket-retro Space Park. As a purely standalone title, TRAILS is illustrated with beautiful minimalistic art that takes players on a hike across the landscapes of various National Parks in the United States. In TRAILS, players hike back and forth along the trail, collecting rocks, acorns and leaves; taking pictures; and encountering wildlife to gain bonuses. At trailhead and trail end, you can turn in resources to earn badges, after which you start back in the other direction. As players meander up and down the paths, the sun slowly sets, transforming locations from day to night and making their options even more powerful, but the setting sun also serves as a timer to mark the end of the game meaning the clock [...]

BattleTech: A Range Restock

Hey PI-Fans, Across the Neofeudal battles of the Inner Sphere, a single maxim reigns - "Life is Cheap, BattleMechs aren't."
