Whether you're a ruthless corporate Sys-Op or a devil-may-care Runner, we've reloaded all the tricks, tools and traps to keep you running. So, join us for another Netrunner Tuesday. We're nice people! Honest! - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/Covert Fanboi Compete with the other players in this smart game of dice to construct the legendary Alhambra. Employ your dice skillfully and finally emerge as the best master builder in this game in this stand-alone spin off of the classic board game or add Alhambra: The Dice Game to your Alhambra set to try out the advanced Alcazaba game variant.   In the Under The Pyramids expansion for Eldritch Horror, you're off to Cairo to face off against the looming menace of the Dark Pharaoh.

Happy New Year, PI-Fans, And welcome to 2016. Or given I'm posting this via remote upload, greetings from the past? How is the future? Are there any major developments I should know about? Is future me just as pedantic and annoying? I MUST KNOW. Anyway, in the future, all signs point to several new titles should become available for purchase. Lets go over a few shall we? - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/Temporal Paradox From the mind of Antoine Bauza, designer of the award winning 7 Wonders, comes  7 Wonders DUEL; a head to head re-implementation of the  modern classic for two-players. Race to crush your opponent militarily or speed your way to victory through scientific developments. And in a pinch, leave your mark upon the world with a wonder that reshapes the game itself and grants you powerful abilities. In Colt Express: Horses & Stagecoach, your bandits now ride. Gallop after the speeding [...]

Hey PI-Fans, How have your holidays been? With the Christmas rush being what it was,  I'm glad that the restocks are in. In addition to reloading our shelves with classics like Dixit, Love Letter, Coup G54, The Resistance, Munchkin and Fluxx, we've gotten a slew of new titles which should see you through to the new year. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/Thunderbird One Fanboi 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! Race to the rescue with International Rescue in Matt Leacock's new cooperative masterpiece based on the classic 1960's supermarionation TV Series. Outwit the Hood's machinations with the assistance of the five Tracy Brothers and International Rescue's London agent, Lady Penelope as International Rescue speeds from disaster to disaster in the Thunderbirds board game. With Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we got a bucket of swirling dogfights between X-Wings and TIE Fighters. Now, bring these lethal fighters to the tabletop  with the [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Enjoy the X-Wing Miniatures game? Well... try your hand at the Games @ PI casual events - ever so often we get bored and roll out some really weird rule sets. Our next event is coming up on the 9th of January, so those poor fools above had better work on fixing that TIE. If what both the X-Wing flight-sims and the miniature game taught us holds true, CRASHING = BAD. Of course, on the other hand, setting up someone to crash with you is... slightly more entertaining. Captain Crash is a casual X-Wing event where scoring kills is... slightly less important than causing people to hit you... So. Strap in folks. It's gonna be bumpy. ______________________________________________________ Event Date: 9th Jan 2016, 2 pm. Fleet Construction: Bring a Fleet containing no more than 3 ships with a final pointage of not more that 75 points. All ships must be from the same faction. No player may field more [...]

Please Pardon The Manager. He's clearly confused and it's Been A Long Day.   Hi PI-Fans, A Long Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away... Wait. Something isn't right. Sorry. Lets try that again. If I've learnt anything, it's that fandoms are non-exclusive - my love of Star Wars neither competes nor demeans my ability to appreciate Star Trek... Which is great, because even in this time of Star Wars mania, Star Trek 5 Year Mission is really really good game. Unless you're a redshirt. But. Hey. Who cares about the redshirts? - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/Balancer of the Force. Command a 5-year mission aboard the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: Five Year Mission. NCC-1701 or NCC 1701-D, you ask? Why not both? Work together to resolve escalating series of alerts before the Enterprise is destroyed. Deal with injuries which lock dice out of play, circumvent ship damage, the prime directive, as well as the ever looming timer [...]

Hey PI-Fans, We're rolling into the Christmas period, so in addition to the usual new releases you'd expect on a Monday morning, we're stocking deep in preparation for all your shopping needs. For of you who  noticed absence from the store, no... they didn't find my body washed up on a beach somewhere. I'm on vacation. Sort of, anyway. Also, I am not a Manei Domini infiltrator masquerading as the store manager on the internet. Have a good week, folks. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager/Precentor Dominus Will your your quest end in death or glory? In Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game, 1 to 4 players guide some of the Old World's most iconic heroes into the shadows to vanquish some of Warhammer's most terrifying monsters in a quest for fabulous treasure in this modern re-implementation of the classic cooperative dungeon crawl. Start at the beginning of A Song of Ice and Fire [...]

Hey PI-Fans, I figured I should probably get the obligatory Ghostbusters references out of my system right and early. So yeah. Who Ya Gonna Call? Are you troubled by strange noises in the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in basement or attic? Have you or your family actually seen a spook, spectre, or ghost? If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Just pick up the phone and call the professionals. Call the Ghostbusters! We're ready to believe you. Welcome to the height of technology and comfort, the Space Station Atlantis! Along with an obligatory alien invasion. Will your crew find space on the limited escape pods, board fighters and attempt to destroy the aliens or trust in their space suits and float for it? But with the alien Warriors, Spawns, and Queens patrolling the space around the station, only the luckiest will make it out of SURVIVE! SPACE ATTACK! Dragons [...]

Hey PI-Fans, We though we might start this week with a few abstract titles. Here's a wave of light strategy to get the week going. Crabz is an aggressive little strategy game about stacks of crabs. With the tide coming in, crabs scuttle to safety, inadvertently piling on top of each other in a bid to escape the waves. With large crabs happily plonking themselves on top of smaller ones, players work to immobilize opponents by pinning their crabs underneath crabs of their colour in an attempt to have the last available free crabs when the tide comes in. Despite it's obviously punny name, Battle Sheep is a light and fast playing territory control game. In Battle Sheep, players control flocks of sheep trying to sieze the biggest chunk of a pasture for themselves. Each flock consists of a stack of sheep, which slowly splits into smaller stacks as they control ground, becoming less and less flexible the [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Apologies, folks. Duty called and I ended up spending the past couple of weeks in holed up somewhere near Lim Chu Kang. But enough about me.  You're here for the games. We've got our usual spread of new stuff, and all those Splendor, Ticket to Ride and Dixit restocks you've been waiting for. Business as usual, folks! Alternatively described as a gripping co-operative game of supernatural deduction and a "game of ghosts, murder and hilarious incompetence", in Mysterium, players are alternately Mediums attempting to grapple with cryptic clues from a haunting as they attempt to solve a murder, or a Ghost who is increasingly frustrated by the inability of the Mediums to follow his instructions. Will the murder be solved before the harried Ghost player has an aneurysm and collapses? In Shakespeare, players are theater managers who must recruit actors, craftsmen, jewelers and others in order to assemble everything needed for [...]
