Restock Wave is go.

Hey PI-Fans, It's been an interesting week for me at least...  Okay. Technically a week is the same seven days as it is for everyone else, but between the staff absences, the unplanned shipment arrivals and the crazy delivery cycles, this one has been an absolute doozy.  Nothing specifically out of the ordinary besides the store manager being a little more tired than usual, but at the same time... absolutely worth it - This is after all my job and I enjoy what I do. That said, the shipment dropping in unexpected has allowed me to take time to reload our shelves. This means the range of core Catan and expansions, Codenames and Ticket to Ride has burgeoned again and 7 Wonders, 7 Wonders Architect and 7 Wonders Duel are back on the shelf along with things like Azul, Pandemic, Love Letter, Dixit, Deception: Murder in Hong Kong and more... [...]

Dead Manager Walking

Hey PI-Fans, Games @ PI Manager Kenneth here - I think by the way the articles stopped, it's pretty obvious when I finally stopped resisting and succumbed to the bug. No shame in admitting it's had me out-like-a-light for the past week. My staff have risen to the occasion and carried on running the place - I am thankful for that. This does however mean that I've dropped the ball on many many things as well - and I would like to thank the tolerance of our suppliers who have pulled minor miracles to assist. We expect our March of the Machine shipment to arrive today (and it's in) and I will keep you updated regarding its arrival for the prerelease tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding - it's been a miserable week.  - Kenneth

5 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Five days remaining to Games@PI’s Magic: the Gathering – March of the Machine Prerelease Event! We've had just enough of gloom and doom, really. Despite the March of the Machine set being about the Phyrexian invasion of everything, it's also very much an Avengers level teamup of just about every hero the writers could drag from every plane they could think of. This motley mix of heroes, unlikely-do-gooders and outright villains who want to avoid becoming a Phyrexian footnote are represented by Team-Up creatures, dual-colored legendary creatures representing notable champions same plane teaming up against the Phyrexian invasion with abilities that are often call-backs to their original cards. The prerelease event for the 'March of the Machine' set happens Saturday, 15/4/23. Maybe you'll walk away with a favorite character and their new 'bestie'. We'll be doing a daily countdown, sharing our favourites of the cards previewed and preparing [...]

6 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Six days remaining to Games@PI’s Magic: the Gathering – March of the Machine Prerelease Event! The Phyrexians, being weird and horrible, take hideous pleasure in covering the table in Incubator tokens, vile eggs that their controller can hatch into a menagerie of Phyrexian life forms. Just try not to think too hard about the source of the biological matter that's going into these terrifying Easter Eggs.   The prerelease event for the 'March of the Machine' set happens Saturday, 15/4/23.  We'll be doing a daily countdown, sharing our favourites of the cards previewed and preparing for the event! Are you excited for the battle?! Will you marshal the invading Phyrexian horde and finally leave your opponent with egg on their face? The event details are as follows:  April 15 (Saturday), 2pm Format: Sealed, three rounds Swiss, best-of-3 matches Fee: $35 Participation: 3 wins - 4 set booster packs [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Seven days remaining to Games@PI’s Magic: the Gathering – March of the Machine Prerelease Event! As the clock continues to tick down to the Prerelease. Perhaps it's time to just let Wizards' storytelling shine through their awesome trailer.

8 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Eight days remaining to Games@PI's Magic: the Gathering - March of the Machine Prerelease Event! From Amonkhet to Zendikar, the invaded planes and their inhabitants are depicted in gorgeous art upon the cards. March of the Machine showcases the upcoming multiversal battle across all ten of the Gainlands, first released in the Tarkir set (currently being Invaded) last seen together as a full set back in Kamigawa (also being invaded). While bits and bobs of the Gainland set did show up in the Warhammer 40,000 Commander decks, we don't think Elesh Norn is quite insane enough to take a swing at the Grim Darkness of the Far Future (though to be fair, the Phyrexians would fit right in).         The prerelease event for the 'March of the Machine' set happens Saturday, 15/4/23. Who knows, you might end up going home with a Plane or two [...]

9 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Nine days remaining to Games@PI's Magic: the Gathering - March of the Machine Prerelease Event! With the Phyrexian invasion underway all across the Planes, soldiers, champions and even the wildlife are rising up to meet the threat posed by these multiversal intruders. Unfortunately, this resistance can occasionally play directly into the hands of the Phyrexians themselves, as be they Soldier, Beast, Angel or Devil, all have a place waiting for them in the Phyrexian hierarchy. There's probably something meta to be said about the depiction of mind-twisting flesh-distorting corruption becoming little more than a question of combat utility for players, but we'll try not to think too hard about that. The prerelease event for the 'March of the Machine' set happens Saturday, 15/4/23, just in time for you to load up on the body horror. We'll be doing a daily countdown, sharing our favourites of the cards previewed [...]

10 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Ten days remaining to Games@PI's Magic: the Gathering - March of the Machine Prerelease Event! The last time we checked in, the Magic the Gathering multiverse was in something of a pickle, thanks to the Phyrexians - Magic's longtime creepy-ass fratricidal sock-puppet villains, successfully utilizing the Invasion Tree 'Realmbreaker' to attack all planes at once. This cataclysmic war is the feature of  the 'March of the Machine' set, which we're having a prerelease event for on Saturday, 15/4/23. We'll be doing a daily countdown, sharing our favourites of the cards previewed and preparing for the event! Are you excited for the battle?! The story has taken us to many places, and we return to them once again.... The event details are as follows:  April 15 (Saturday), 2pm Format: Sealed, three rounds Swiss, best-of-3 matches Fee: $35 Participation: 3 wins - 4 set booster packs 2 wins - 2 [...]
