Hey PI-Fans, It's time to hack-and-crack on the 28th of April, with the release of FFG's new Salsette Island Data Pack for Android: Netrunner and the Android: Mainframe board game. In the dystopian future of the Android universe, elite cybercriminals know as Netrunners vie for control of cyberspace - in Mainframe, runners have penetrated a bank's security and are attempting to siphon vulnerable accounts. Place down  programs to cordon of chunks of the compromised network under your control and battle with other runners to secure the greatest quantity of vulnerable accounts. In Salsette Island, however, the corporations aren't taking the Runner problem lying down - an alliance of corporations led by the Jinteki Megacorp has begun operations in the Indian Union. Will this be enough to tip the balance of power back into the Corporation's favor? Find out in this latest installment of the Mumbad cycle. – Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager [...]

|Hey PI-Fans, It's another Monday, which means stuff. Oddly enough, this weeks theme appears to be Big Space, with more space combat and exploration than you can shake a proton torpedo at. Given big space is the theme, it's unsurprising that several huge 4x (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) games dominate the lineup. Restocks of Twilight Imperium, Warhammer 40,000 Forbidden Stars and the often sought Eclipse supply enough warring space empires to sate the palette of the space empire connoisseur. This isn't to say that space is all about deep strategy though. Games like Space Alert, Galaxy Trucker and Star Munchkin are riotous fun as starships explode and crew panic. And for those of a wargaming bent, we haven't forgotten you either with a full line restock of the critically acclaimed Star Wars: Armada. If you've ever wanted to experience the satisfaction of what Kotaku gleefully called "1000 guns at 1000 paces while sipping [...]

Hey PI-Fans, This Saturday marks the 30th Anniversary of the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, and Games @ PI is kicking off celebrations on the 16th of April, with a Build-A-Hero event from 1pm to 6pm. We’ve also procured limited quantities of the limited edition 30th Anniversary Imperial Space Marine model, which we’ll be releasing to the public on a first-come-first-serve basis. Up for a nostalgia trip? Grab a copy of Index Astartes, and take a walk down memory lane, to where there were Half-Eldar Librarians (SHOCK HORROR), and take a look at the developmental  history of this iconic warrior. Or pick up your copy of Angels of Death and flesh out your Astartes Taskforce with all new formations and psychic powers. We’re looking forward to seeing you at our Deathwatch Marine workshop on Saturday, and excited to see what you’ll be slapping together on the day itself. See you Saturday, folks. [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Stock-ma-geddon continues with a feline frenzy. Be the best crazy cat lady you can be in Here Kitty Kitty! as your battle your neighbours to attract cats to your yard. Pile your stack of cats in Cat Tower or teach them to be ninjas in Ninja Camp. Of course, it's not an entire catastrophe. Munchkin bucks the trend with Munchkin Puppies. Meanwhile urban renewal continues with Dice City and the All That Glitters expansion as you roll your way to victory in this all new city builder. Speaking of urban renewal, we've got an all new BattleTech novel. Embers of War is the first canonical BattleTech novel published since 2008, and picks up right where Endgame left off. Anyway, while you're loading up on goodies, don't forget we've got an upcoming Build-A-Marine Workshop on Saturday 16th April, so keep those tools sharp. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager ______________________________________________________ [...]

Pretty. What do we blow up first? — Wraith Squadron motto A Spot of Piracy Mk ii - Electric Boogaloo is a sequel to the original A Spot of Piracy X-Wing event run by Games @ PI in June 2015. The big difference here is... well... since that last convoy fell afoul of some dastardly pirates... well... the convoy ships have started shooting back. So prepare to 杀人放火. Come on down to Games @ PI on the 24th of April and put your piloting skills to the test in this free-for-all test of mettle, as pilots attempt to engage in some blatant cheaty-faced theft as they attempt to recover booty from a convoy of fleeing cargo ships and walk away with swag from the Spring 2016 X-Wing Tournament Kit including the swanky new alternate art Rebel Veteran Instincts card. Anyone know who that character is? She looks familiar but I can't place her. Summary: A Spot of Piracy [...]
