Board Game Sleeves – A Reference List

Hey PI-Fans,The Games @ PI team has never been one to look at board games as a disposable product. A good board or card game can hit the table multiple times, resulting hours of fun for all involved.Of course, each time you do this, you risk cards getting scratched, torn or dirty.This is where plastic card sleeves come in.The Games @ PI webstore already carries a range of Fantasy Flight Supply sleeves. Sure, there will be oddballs like Spot It!, whose round cards outright defy sleeving and odd shapes like French Tarot cards, but for the most part, you can already protect the cards of most card games – The webstore team is already planning a range expansion to cater to to the remaining cards, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, if you need sleeves not listed on the website, you can drop an email to [...]

You can grab your own copy here!And what better way to celebrate the roll-out that to have a familiar face pop in to review it?Take it away, Jack!- Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager The parts tray isn’t part of the box contents, but we agree that Jack’s got a good thing going with this nifty add on. The word ‘pandemic’ has recently been added to everyone’s lexicon, with the Coronavirus running rampant globally. To combat this, businesses have been shut down, public spaces closed, and we’ve been encouraged to self-isolate. Not the most fun of times.Looking on the bright side, however, I’ve been able to spend more time with my family and I’ve been introducing them to board games. One of these games has [...]

At its core, Crazy Tower involves players building up a tower of wooden blocks, taking turns to place blocks on a floor card. Players can also create a new level by balancing a floor card on the existing set of blocks. […]

New Year Gaming

Hey PI-Fans, Just a heads up if you aren't already aware of our New Year Operating Hours. We'll be closing early on the 7th and remaining closed on the 8th. Anyway. Over the Lunar New Year period, I'll hopefully be spending time with friends and the section of family that doesn't regard me as an abject failure for managing a Games Store and I expect many of you will be too. Well, the spending time with friends and family part anyway. ;-) One thing I've found is keeping a couple of board games around during the period  works out pretty handy. Here are some of my personal recommendations for the New Year. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager ______________________________________________________ If Chinese New Year gatherings are anything like I remember, we'll be looking for fast playing, simple to teach board games where you can clear the table in half-an-hour or less - that means [...]

Have you ever wanted to create your own fairy tales? That’s what Once Upon A Time (3rd Edition) allows you to do. Once Upon A Time is a story-telling card game meant for 2 to 6 players.

The players come to a conclusion on who becomes the first story teller. Other players might try to steal the role of storyteller by playing a card that contains a word that the storyteller made used of in their [...]

Savage Worlds RPG

Savage Worlds Kew Sheng Yao Date of review: 22/9/2015 Edited by: Simon Joseph A mighty barbarian leads a horde of savages against his blood-sworn foes. A crazy rebel pilots his fighter against a galactic empire. A party of adventurers raids the tomb of an ancient lich. If you like the sound of that, then start exploring the never ending of Savage Worlds. Savage Worlds is a role-playing game and miniatures wargame. Like Dungeons and Dragons, it allows the player to create their very own fantasy characters. This also means that players starts literally nothing but just a short story given by the dungeon master. From there on, let your imagination take you where it leads. The theme maybe also varies depending on the dungeon master. Savage World focus on speed of play and does not require much preparation as this game is solely based on imagination. An example for Dungeons [...]
