Hey PI-Fans,

We’re a game store. We like games. It’s generally consistent with us being a game store. By now we generally assume it’s public knowledge. 🙂

We like new games. It’s a thing.

In Evolution: The Beginning, you’ll control a species adapting to survive and thrive in a dynamic ecosystem where food is scarce and predators roam. Evolutionary Traits like Flight and Horns will protect your species from Carnivores while a Long Neck will help them get food that others cannot reach, but resources are limited so you’ll have to pick and choose your way to victory. With hundreds of ways to evolve your species, every game unfolds in a beautifully unique way. Evolution: The Beginning borrows ideas and concepts from other games in the Evolution branded product line, but it is a stand-alone game.

As a skilled artisan, you will use tools-of-the-trade and careful planning to construct a stained glass window masterpiece in the Sagrada Familia. Players will take turns drafting glass pieces, represented by dice; carefully choosing where to place each one in their window. Windows have unique color and shade requirements, and similar dice may never be adjacent so placing each die is more challenging than the last. Fortunately, you’ll have just the right tools to help you through. Gain prestige by adapting to the preferences of your fickle admirers, and of course, by adding your own artistic flair while completing your glass masterpiece in Sagrada.

Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game of deduction for two teams: villagers and werewolves. The villagers don’t know who the werewolves are, and the werewolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate the villagers one at a time. Ultimate Werewolf Legacy uses gameplay similar to Ultimate Werewolf, but you no longer have single standalone games as players and the village itself have attributes that are retained between games, with events that take place in the first games having effects that ripple through remaining games. Make a bad decision early on, and it can haunt the village for years to come!

The intrepid crew are on their first away mission! Of course, your new captain was very diplomatic, and upon encountering giant bugs that may very well be the reason the aliens abandoned the planet, he chose to attempt to communicate. The bugs communicated by biting his head clean off. So now, once again without a captain, the crew must attempt to complete the mission by exploring tunnels and obtaining relics, all while fighting off a swarm of bugs! Through exploration and area defense, you’ll try to survive long enough to obtain the necessary relics — but should the bugs attack the shuttlecraft enough times, you won’t be able to escape the Dangerous Planet!

Hey PI-Fans,

Over the weekend, we teamed up with Shane Mok to run a Star Wars X-Wing Casual Event at the store, and the community responded in style with a full house of 16 players.

Congratulations to Meng Tee Teng for his win, and we hope people had fun.

Photos of the Event can be found HERE. We hope everyone had fun, and we’re looking forward to doing this again. Until then, keep those S-Foils in attack position and we hope you’ll keep flying casual.

– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager

Hey PI-Fans,

The store is open. It’s another week. Time for some fun.

If you miss Talisman, keep an eye out for an all new edition of Relic, back from the Warp. Strap on your Terminator Armour, load your Stormbolter and prepare to go questing in the grim darkness of the far future.

Alternatively, take a trip to your local tavern for Three Dragon Ante: Legendary Edition, a card game designed for tavern crawls in your D&D Campaign.

Looking for something different? Return to the city of Machi Koro with the Machi Koro 5th Anniversary Expansion Box, bringing a 5th player to your games of Machi Koro. Alternatively, consider Machi Koro Legacy, bringing lasting consequences to your games of Machi Koro.

– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager

Three-Dragon Ante: Legendary Edition is a re-imagining of the original classic Dungeons & Dragons Three Dragon Ante, a casual standalone card game of chance for two to six players. Each hand, players ante gold to the stakes and compete to play the strongest flight of three cards, dragons, or mortals. The strongest flight wins that gold from the stakes, but playing weaker cards triggers your cards’ powers and sets you up to win the next hand. This Legendary Edition includes new Legendary Dragons, Mortals, Gold and Platinum Pieces, and Ability Disks for combining Three-Dragon Ante with the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game!

Machi Koro Legacy features the same gameplay as Machi Koro. You are still rolling dice, you are still collecting income, and you are still racing to build landmarks. However, it features a ten-game series that tells a complete story set in the world of Machi Koro in which player choices create a unique gameplay experience.

Machi Koro 5th Anniversary Expansions continues the celebration of the evergreen title’s fifth birthday! This expansion contains new reprints of the classic Harbor and Millionaire’s Row expansions, available together for the first time! Machi Koro 5th Anniversary Expansions features the same larger card size than previous editions as well as brand-new plastic coins to add to the plastic coins of the base game. Each expansion adds new layers, like Fishing Boats, an airport, and components to add a fifth player!

Relic is a board game in which two to four players each assume the role of a powerful hero from the Warhammer 40,000 universe and bravely venture forth to shield the Antian Sector from certain doom. By completing missions and defeating enemies, characters compete to gain rewards and experience, furthering their chance of being the first to defeat whatever evil lies beyond the Warp rift.

Hey PI-Fans.

The ‘Law of Shipment Attraction’ posits that no matter how much effort you put into staggering your order cycle, the natural magnetic attraction of shipments will inevitably result in their arrival in a single disorganized clump, resulting in the demise of one or more warehouse gnomes beneath a sudden, crushing pile of boxes.

While the local ecosystem resolves itself, we resolve to continue filling the shelves with swag.

Swag is awesome. We know you like swag.

Oddly, it’s a rather miniature-centric slab of releases. X-Wing Wave V has finally transitioned from hyperspace, bringing reinforcements for Rebel, Imperial, Scum, Republic and Separatist players. Also in are the Tully Cavaliers, Lannister Poor Fellows and Nights Watch Builder Crossbowmen for the Song of Ice and Fire miniature game. Stomping along in the rearguard comes Technical Readout: Clan Invasion for BattleTech, a definitive collection of giant stompy robots for the discerning commander looking to take the fight to the Clans (or just be the angry techno-barbarian at the gates).

But I’m just looking for a board game, you say?

How about Foodies, a raucous game of food court management. Or if you’re just here to punch something, consider Marvel Legendary: Revelations, which unleashes the long time Ironman foe The Mandarin to bedevil the players. Also available is the Children of Heaven pack for L5R and the Return to Path to Carcosa expansion for the Arkham Horror LCG.

If you’re looking for something to bulk out your RPG experiences, we’ve got a limited quantity of the limited edition Descent into Avernus adventure book for Dungeons & Dragons. Also the D&D Essentials box if you’re just starting out.

So yeah.

Big shipment clump means big launches from a large number of companies. Why not swing by and join us in getting some gaming in?

Hey PI-Fans,

I’ve just dragged my body back from the armed forces and it’s time to get back to work. Work, in my case means games. More specifically bringing you games.

That’s my job.

What I’m rambling about in this disorganised screed basically translates into new board and card games for the shelf, ready fr people to pop by and add them to their collections.

If you enjoyed the Chronicles of Crime, perhaps it’s worth keeping an eye out for the expansions. The Noir and Welcome to Redview expansions bring all new scenarios to the Chronicles of Crime, along with the Virtual Reality Module, which converts your phone into a set of VR goggles.

If you’re looking for something lighter perhaps consider Kodama Duo, a specially designed two player set of the Kodama card game which also doubles as a 6th player expansion for the core game or just take a look at Throw Throw Burrito, primarily due to the dearth of party games which allow you to brain your friend with a hurled rubber burrito.

So hey. If you’re looking for something to pass the week, hows’about a new adventure, preferable with friends.

Hey PI-Fans,

It’s been a while hasn’t it… I’ve been on Reservist training and the new stuff has piled up since I went in. There’s plenty of stuff out there. Role playing games for one… Board and card game for another…

And the miniatures. Oh the miniatures.

Journeys in Middle Earth get’s it’s first expansion with Villains of Eriador. Then there’s the L5R LCG Justice for Satsume, a new wave of WizKids preprimed miniatures, and the 2nd Edition of the Pathfinder Role Playing Game.

It’s a great spread of options, for all sorts of different gaming palettes.

Here’s to the weekend, folks. Have a great one!

Hey PI-Fans,

Some of you like adult humour. Judging by the collective popularity of Cards Against Humanity, Bed Wed Dead and Limpeh Says, we don’t judge.

If anything, we sort of enable it.

So this week is a mix. We’ve got a couple of new card games this week. Cahoots and This Game Goes to Eleven are excellent party games – but definitely not as spicy as the other two.

On top of that, we’ve restocked Unstable Unicorns, Llama’s Unleashed, Scram and Daring Contest, so if you’re looking for more kooky fun, well… we’ve got you covered too.

Here’s to being an adult.

– Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager

Million Dollars, But… The Game (MDB) puts your morals and imagination to the test, posing the question, “What would you do for a million dollars?” Players create scenarios by combining a trigger and a rather uncomfortable rule card to showcase what they would or wouldn’t do for a big hunk of cash.

You know the drill. In Codenames: Deep Undercover, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess words of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin. Of course… Deep Undercover means things are a bit… saucier… in their choice of vocabulary.

Cooperation is key in Cahoots! Play cards to one of four piles by matching color or number. Work together as a team to complete a series of goals — without communicating what’s in your hand. Can you make all piles purple or green? Every card lower than four? All cards add up to ten? There’s only one way to win before time runs out: Play in cahoots!

In This Game Goes to Eleven, named after a joke in the film Spinal Tap, players play number cards from their hands into the center pile, seeking to make the pile sum to 11. If they are able to get to exactly 11, they can pass the stack off to another player. If, however, they are forced to play a card that brings the total over 11, they have to take the entire pile themselves. Players race to be the first one to be left without any cards.
