Hey PI-Fans,
Stock churn being what it is, we’ve managed a healthy restock of many of the sought after titles on our shelves, as well as a smattering of new arrivals to round them out.
If you’re a fan of the UNLOCK! Series, consider picking up a pocket-sized UNLOCK! pack or two from the new UNLOCK! Short Adventures range. Floating in along with them are the expansion (and restocks) for the Ark Nova board game with Ark Nova Marine Worlds and the Ark Nova core set popping back onto our shelves.
Along for the ride are restocks of the ever popular dragon themed worker-placement game Flamecraft featuring adorable dragon art from illustrator Sandara Tang as well as the suitably dense Japanese themed worker-placement The White Castle by Devir games.
Another box of Kickstarter ‘Mechs for BattleTech have slowly meandered our way across the Pacific as well, with a batch of House Davion Cavalry and Heavy Battle Lances making the journey escorted by Lance boxes for the Black Remnant and McCarron’s Armored Cavalry Lances, the Second Star League Box (with a special painted Daishi Prometheus) and a special restock of the ever popular UrbanMech Lance (Dustbins for everyone!)
Artisan dragons, the smaller and magically talented versions of their larger (and destructive) cousins, are sought by shopkeepers so that they may delight customers with their flamecraft.
In Flamecraft, 1-5 players take on the role of Flamekeepers, skilled in the art of conversing with dragons, placing dragons to assist shopkeepers, collecting items and casting enchantments to enhance the shops of the town. Dragons have different specializations and talents and the best Flamekeepers will place them according to their innate abilities. Dragons can produce items for the shops and gathered items can be used to further enchant a shop, gaining reputation and the favors of all the dragons there. Your reputation will grow as you aid the dragons and shopkeepers, and the Flamekeeper with the most reputation will be known as the Master of Flamecraft.

Ark Nova is a tile laying and worker placement board game that focuses on the process of designing and managing a zoo. To do so, players must efficiently utilise the space they have available for enclosures, juggle the needs, quirks and requirements of a varied variety of animal species and a unique priority management system that resolve at different efficiencies depending on the overall priority of when they are assigned during a turn.
Players in Ark Nova will be judged on their conservation scores, zoo appeal and the ability of their facilities to attract both sponsorships from external parties and revenue. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.

Ark Nova: Marine Worlds expands upon the core mechanics of the classic Ark Nova board game with the addition of both aquatic life and marine enclosures. In addition to all the mechanical tweaks to the base Ark Nova formula that the new species provide, there are also new Universities to patronize, streamlining the overall acquisition rate of animals and reducing luck dependency while variant actions also give players additional gameplay options opening up alternate modes of play.
