Hey PI-Fans,
Although the TCG releases seem unrelenting, over at PI Games, it’s always useful for us to remember to recenter ourselves – after all we’re a hobby game store.
It’s the manager again, with another heaping serving of board and card games making their way to our shelves, and this shipment is an eclectic one, bringing with it the classic adventuring board game in Talisman 5th Edition, a pocket-sized light strategy card game via Happy Mochi and the absolutely massive open-world exploration themed board game Vantage.
We’ve also gotten a Dungeons & Dragons themed restock in our door with the D&D 5.5E core books and starter sets back on the shelves with a happy heaped serving of classics like Machi Koro 2, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan games and Catan!
Our weekend crowds are still buzzing along with regular Age of Sigmar, Horus Heresy and Magic the Gathering games as well, so if you’d like to be part of one of these great communities, please don’t hesitate to pop on over.
As always, have a great weekend folks! Let’s get some gaming in!
– Kenneth, PI Games Manager

Get rid of your cards by playing two Mochi cards at a time. Use the unique card effects and color restrictions to challenge opponents, or play the powerful Happy Mochi card to bypass all rules!Place your mochi cards by pairs and be the first to play them all! Simple to learn yet offers plenty of strategic choices for family fun!

Vantage is an open-world, cooperative adventure game for 1-6 players designed by Jamey Stegmaier. Vantage features an entire planet to explore, with players communicating while scattered across the world. With nearly 800 interconnected locations on cards and over 900 other discoverable cards, the world is your sandbox. You begin each game of Vantage on an intergalactic vessel heading towards an uncharted planet. After crashing far from your companions, you have complete freedom as to how you explore, discover, and interact with the planet. You view your location from a first-person perspective–you can communicate with and support other players, but you are separated by vast distances, so only you can see your current location.
Vantage: 1-6 Players, 120-180 mins, Ages 14+
