Keeping it bottled up – A ‘Soda Smugglers’ Review

Hey PI-Fans, Lawmakers are cracking down on soda, and tight regulation has made way for lucrative smuggling. One bottle per person is the new law — thus bribes, suitcase inspections, and arrests are on the agenda. Only one will emerge the Soda Kingpin. Reiner Knizia's Soda Smugglers is a light three to eight player party game based on Knizia's own 'Heisse Ware: Krimi-Kartenspiel fur clevere Schmuggler', an absolute mouthful of a game loosely translating to 'Hot Merchandise: Criminal Card Game for Clever Smugglers'. Like it's contemporary, 'Sheriff of Nottingham', it draws a loose evolutionary lineage from a 1950s era game 'Contraband', but Soda Smugglers remains far more focused on light and accessible gameplay, making it stand out as a party game. Upon unfastening the magnetic clasp on a Soda Smugglers box, one of the first things to catch the eye is the quality of the insert and overall design. Bitewing Games [...]

Enter the Dungeon – the Tiny Epic Dungeon.

Hey PI-Fans, Gamelyn Games has always been big on the concept of turning big-box board game concepts into teeny tiny games. They've done it before with Tiny Epic Kingdoms being their take on 4X games and Tiny Epic Zombies acting as a semi-cooperative zombie battler, but with Tiny Epic Dungeons, they've firmly set their sights on cooperative party Dungeon Crawlers. Tiny Epic Dungeons is a fully cooperative dungeon crawler for 1 to 4 players which sees a team of heroes descending into a deadly dungeon to confront a boss. Along the way, players smash their way through goblins, traps and minions while the guttering torch slowly burns out in a race to find a defeat the dungeon boss in a randomly generated dungeon before the party is trapped in the dark. If you feel the big box multi-hour crawls take way too long and want a neat pocket sized board [...]

Saboteur: The Dark Cave – Becoming the SABO King.

Hey PI-Fans, If you're a fan of Frederic Moyersoen's beloved series about dwarves mucking around in mines, constantly bedeviled by the work of shadowy saboteurs, you'll be pleased as punch to know that with "The Dark Cave", Saboteur is now effectively a trilogy of games? While the prequel Saboteur: The Lost Mines has clans of Dwarves clearcutting their way through the woods to reach mines, and the original Saboteur has the mining turn murky in the twisty tunnels of the mines as dwarves tunnel their way towards gold, The Dark Cave is a clear sequel that has the paranoia overcome dwarves rushing to escape the flooding mineshafts with gold even while suspecting members of their own clan of treachery.  In The Dark Cave though, if the worrisome thought that some of the players on your team are secretly scoring for the opposition isn't enough, this time the Dwarves are in a real [...]

… Find Out… – MicroMacro Full House

Hey PI-Fans, Swing on down to Games @ PI to pick up a copy of MicroMacro: Crime City - Full House at Games @ PI. An oddball title, the MicroMacro series combines the character search of a classic 'Where's Wally' style title with the investigative gameplay of a detective thriller and this Spiel des Jahres winning series has players poring over a massive 75cm x 110cm table mat for darkly humorous clues on a series of crimes. In each case, players work their way through a series of card instructions that require them to find a specific crime scene case on the board. Subsequent cards will point them towards looking for specific pieces of information on the map pertaining to the case itself and interactions involving the suspects, ranging from locations to items and objects linked to the offense itself. As play progresses, players will be able to puzzle out [...]

Magic Maze Kids

Hey PI-Fans, The king was accidentally turned into a frog! Gather your friends, stride across the forest, and find the correct ingredients to prepare a potion that will cure him. If you're looking for a good cooperative experience to play with the younger ones, I highly recommend Magic Maze Kids, a family friendly adaptation of the Magic Maze board game. In Magic Maze Kids, each player is responsible for movement of tokens along a single vertice (up, down, left, right) - as a result, in order to navigate the jungle maps before the timer runs down, players need to coordinate actions with each other to traverse the windy jungle paths. Tutorials gradually teach players the rules, and several levels of difficulty make the game evolve with the players. As a teaching tool, Magic Maze Kids works as a wonderful way to get some gaming time in with younger audiences, while [...]
