Board Games

Hey PI-Fans, This week's announcement is going to be a short one - as I have discovered to my chagrin, having a phone fail on can affect the regular posting demeanor.  That said, rain, sun, phone bricking itself doesn't stop the rest of the team from keeping the games chugging along.  This week sees us pop out a pair of Escape Room themed titles, with the arrival of a pair of boxes for UNLOCK! Kids (Detective Stories and Stories from the Past) as well as the Lord of the Rings Shadows Over Middle Earth EXIT set. If you want to take a cooperative take on the pocket box escape room genre for you or the little ones, this might be an opportune moment. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager (under technical duress) Hopefully back to regular posting SOON TM.  

Hey PI-Fans, To me, my X-Men! Time to slip on those rose-tinted Ruby Quartz glasses and take a trip down memory lane in this cooperative dice game of comic book battles!

Hey PI-Fans, March trundles ever onwards, with a stack of Blue Orange titles plonking onto the shelf. If you're a fan of the modern classing Kingdomino, it's back on the shelf along with the sequel Queendomino and the Age of Giants expansion that increases the maximum number of players in-game to five. Also new on the shelf is Moon River, Bruno Cathala's newest swing at the Kingdomino formula, which sees players taking on the role of cattle ranchers with customizable jigsaw-style build-your-own-domino pieces. If you wanted something less cerebral, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza might be up your alley. In this reaction based game, players rush to slap their hands on a stack of cards if the card on the stack matches the chant.  Together with the standalone variants of Taco Back Goat Cheese Pizza and Taco Hat Cake Gift Pizza, if you're in the market for a neat little [...]

Hey PI-Fans, One of the things I simultaneously love and hate about this industry is the restock cycle. Occasionally, part of it is just surrendering to the vicissitudes of fate and just letting the vagaries of fate dictate what meanders onto shelves for the week. With shipping being what it is, it's probably better to just sit back, let things fall where they may and hope for the best. That said, it isn't all bad to play with the cards on hand. After all Space Cowboy's Spellbook has magically materialized on the shelves, and the asdfmovie card game Muffin Time has appeared in it's wake. On top of that, we've managed to secure stocks of the asymmetrical conflict game Root and the social deduction themed Deception: Murder in Hong Kong. There's also plenty of other stuff in the pipeline on top of this including restocks of our mainstays like Dixit, [...]
