Hey PI-Fans,
May might have been a crazy month, but we’re moving into June with a brand-new haul of board and card games. This week sees a pair of expansions for the ever popular HEAT and Wingspan series with Wingspan Americas and HEAT Rocky Roads. In addition, we have a massive slab of the new Flip 7 with a Vengeance, bring ‘sabo’ style gameplay to the ever popular Flip 7, which has also finally restocked itself. Also making an appearance is the new printing of the evergreen classic San Juan, the game finally returning to shelves under the Awaken Realms branding.
This of course comes with a massive pile of restocks of evergreen titles like HEAT, Carcassonne, The Gang and Bomb Busters as well as sneaking in a cheeky few restocks for titles like Blood on the Clocktower and many of the Unlock! Short Adventure titles!
If you’re looking for a game for June, swing by PI Games, and we’ll be happy to help you find a title or two to match your needs.

The Wingspan Central & South Americas expansion explores the birds of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. This incredibly biodiverse and abundant region is home to more than 3,000 bird species, including the birds with the smallest and largest wingspans in the world (the Bee Hummingbird and Snowy Albatross, respectively).
Hummingbirds make up about one tenth of the bird species in Latin America, delighting birders with their quick movements and shimmering feathers. Designer Elizabeth Hargrave and artists Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Martha Clare highlight them in this expansion with a new type of card that adds a twist to gameplay.

HEAT – ROCKY ROADS introduces two new racing tracks. In the South Africa Grand Prix you will face treacherous gravel on the track, requiring careful management of your car and nerves of steel. Victory on the Germany track will hinge on how you deal with the fast pace of the newly built chicanes along the long straight away.
Take part in the 1966 Championship season and take advantage of a new innovation, the Sliding Skirts, to surprise your opponents and slipstream to victory!
This expansion also includes all components for another player to join your races.

The uncompromising sequel to the award-winning Flip 7, Flip 7: With A Vengeance is a fully independently playable card game with new, more aggressive game elements.
Flip cards one by one without revealing the same number twice, otherwise you will go out blank and score no points in this round.
Steal cards, force opponents to drag, halve scores and bring minus points into the game for more interaction and chaos.
Only one card, two 2, three 3 and so on, which further increases the tension each time you uncover.
