Board Games

Hey PI-Fans, We have a home. More or less. Once the contractors are done with it. Anyway, what we CAN tell you is we're not leaving the Orchard Road area, so that's a plus. In the meantime, you're all here for games, not our unplanned location woes, so here' what floated into port over the weekend. We'll still be operating as a store normally until we have to haul everything off, so pop on by and check out the new stuff!     The roar of powerful engines bursts from the dark mouth of the Pyrenean tunnel just moments before gleaming cars streak past. One mistake could mean certain destruction, but the lure of the Spanish Grand Prix keeps the drivers focused and aggressive. Heat: Tunnel Vision introduces two new racing tracks to the racing game Heat: Pedal to the Metal. The Spanish Grand Prix takes your car through treacherous [...]

Hey PI-Fans, If you're feeling somewhat 'liberated' of late, don't worry. As board game retailers with a somewhat complicated supply chain, so are we. Maybe play a game or two to take your mind off things. You're still here, your friends are still here. Go have fun with your friends. Doesn't have to be games. Go meet up. Watch a movie. Or just hang out. Spread some positivity. This too shall pass. Taking a break from that side of the world, we've loaded up a table full of offerings from the South Korean publisher Mandoo Games, which features a spread of family, party and 'gamer' style games, all ready for your table. On top of new titles like Capybara n Capybara, in with the shipment has come a slab of expansions for their every popular Kushi Express, Vale of Eternity and Catch Sketch.  There's more coming as we work on [...]

Hey PI-Fans, We keep piling boxes into place and they keep arriving. Arguably that's a good problem to have, even while we run ourselves ragged stacking things up. This week sees new renditions of three modern classic board games with 7 Wonders, Catan and Ticket to Ride all landing new spinoffs on the store shelves. Landing this week are the eco-disaster Catan: New Energies, a new Catan variant that places the game on a death-clock towards ecological disaster, changing up strategies and build orders as a hazard timer slowly ticks down, placing all players under pressure to make the switch to green technologies. If you want something faster and more bite sized, up next is Ticket to Ride: Paris, the newest addition to the Ticket to Ride city boxes, this time taking a detour to the streets of the storied French capital. Trundle through the city on a trolley bus [...]

Hey PI-Fans, It's been a crazy week as we run around making sure things happen. Between roadshows and pallets dropping from out of nowhere, chaotic doesn't begin to even cover it. On the other hand. Crazy busy means more games. Games are good. We'll begin this week with the big guns. In the case of Mass Effect: Priority Hagalaz, guns is a literal thing. Designed by Eric Lang and Wong Tze Loon, this Modiphius release features a branching cooperative campaign for four-players that will see teams shoot their way through a ruined Cerberus Cruiser alongside the legendary Commander Shepard and fan favorites Liara, Tali, Wrex and Garrus. Swimming in with the tide is Finspan, a brand new addition to the Wingspan family that takes the familiar mechanics of the original but rebuilds them for aquatic adventures. As a researcher tasked with exploring the ocean and studying aquatic life, players will [...]
