Support Local: Broken Hearts

Hey PI-Fans, It's the start of a new week! We've got a brand new Singapore designed game that arrived in store today: Broken Hearts!   Broken Hearts   "Never mind, I'll find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you, too "Don't forget me, " I beg I remember you said "Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"" 'Someone Like You' -- Adele   Ah Love. Falling in love is wonderful, being in love is magical and breaking up is absolutely devastating. Thankfully, there's a card game to cope with the pain of breaking up! In 'Broken Hearts', players are individuals looking for love and are competing to finish a set of 5 Heart cards. Play a matching Heart card as another player to 'link' them. Players must also perform the action as said on the card with the matching player! But that's not [...]

THANKS2020 – A Games Workshop Update

IMG Source: Bolter to Kokoro  Hey PI-Fans, THANKS2020 With Nottingham, UK potentially going back into Lockdown, Games Workshop has brought to attention the possibility of supply disruptions in the near future. As much as I’d like to drop snark about COBRA Commander, there is a time and a place for everything and with the situation as serious as it currently is, this is not the time. What this means for you, as a Games Workshop hobbyist in Singapore, is that both a metaphorical and literal winter may be just around the corner. I’m going to be transparent. If nothing happens, great. Business as usual. However, if Nottingham gets shut down again, if you plan to stay hobbying through the final months of 2020, we suggest going to assess your stockpiles. While the Games @ PI team is intentionally deepening our holding stock, in the event you’d like to [...]

Horrible Game Experiences: Collectible Card Games

Hey PI-Fans, Continuing our series of Horrible Game Experiences; last week, we talked about Awful Board Game Experiences. This week, it's all about Collectible Card Games. The joy of CCGs is they can be played quickly and anywhere: over a lunch break, after school, a short session after work. But as with all games, things sometimes turn iffy and at times, get very awful. Presenting the worst ever CCG Experiences ever! People Who Are Rough With Your Cards: The Furious 'Poker' and The Ripple Shuffler Vernon recalls that some players have a tendency to poke other people's cards very hard to the point it's fingernail to cardboard. 'Ah I attack that one!' PO-PO-POKE It's like 'don't hurt my cards!' Jack especially dislikes people who ripple shuffles his cards and violently. You Get Schooled by An Arrogant Player Getting schooled is one thing, but getting schooled by a douchy uber-player is [...]

Staff Spotlight: Vernon!

Hey PI-Fans, How are you all doing today? For the month of October, we're shining the spotlight on our awesome staff that keep the wheels of PI turning! You know him as the friendly Warhammer and Pokemon guy, it's our man Vernon! I sat down and had a chat with Vernon to find out all about his Life@PI (and his secret back story) Q: How Did You Get Started With The Tabletop Hobby Mainly the big one is that I've always been playing games for a while. So definitely Video Games and all that were the first few to get started with. Discovering Warhammer I think my first major exposure to Warhammer was when I was 8 years old, in 1998. So that was when I believe when Third Edition was the thing? It was 2 things that happened, I can't remember what came first. One was I had hand-me-down [...]

Horrible Game Experiences: Board Games

Hey PI-Fans, It's October! The month of exams, Halloween scares and then some. We've all been there before: table top games are meant to be fun and engaging for your friends and family. But sometimes, your game session becomes unfun for you, others and sometimes, gets downright traumatic. Here are some examples of When Game Experiences Go Wrong: Board Games Edition!   Everyone Gangs Up On You Perhaps everyone knows you're the best player around because you're good at strategy. Everyone just decides to take you down by concentrating all their attacks on you by lobbing penalty after penalty on you just to see you suffer. Or for absolutely no reason at all, everyone accuses you of being the 'Werewolf' even though you did absolutely nothing wrong and no one has any proof. Perhaps everyone was just having a really bad day and wanted to target their aggression on you. [...]

Support Local: Bye Bye Virus

Hey PI-Fans, Welcome to Monday! As we all anxiously wait for Phase 3, check out this snazzy local game: Bye Bye Virus! As featured in Straits Times, Yasmine Khater and Denise Lim made the game during Circuit Breaker and successfully funded it via crowd-funding!          Bye Bye Virus pits players in a virus situation where your goal is to keep healthy and stay safe! Collect 5 protection items like face masks, hand sanitizers, gloves and soap to win! But in all craziness, situations change: players could hoard essentials like toilet rolls, cup noodles, canned food. Players could play a government card and change the rules and make other players do silly tasks. If you're not careful, you could get caught by the cops for breaking quarantine or lose cards if a player catches you touching your face! A zany game that everyone can enjoy! Because, why mope [...]
