A Rack Full Of Restocks – Unfathomable Expansions and Assorted Weirdness – 05/07

Hey PI-Fans, The law of shipment attraction strikes again. No clue how it works sometimes but stuff just slams down like a meteor. This shipment restocks of a bunch of our traditional titles like Catan, 7 Wonders and Dixit, but also reloads sought after games like Tiny Epic Dungeons, Dobble, Skull and Durian which are fast becoming mainstays on gaming tables. On the new stuff front, Anarchy Pancakes, a collaboration between the Exploding Kittens Company and Dobble, flips out onto the shelves, bringing the wacky and slightly chaotic brand of humor to the pattern matching decks of Dobble. Also arriving in the same heap of 'newness' is WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS, a charade style card game which forces players into increasingly absurd acting, drawing and speech patterns to get their point across. Anyone craving something bigger can look to Unfathomable -  From the Abyss, an expansion for the Cthulhu-esque [...]

Blue Lagoon – 29/06/24

Hey PI-Fans, Blue Orange Game's Blue Lagoon is a Reiner Knizia classic area control board game that sees nomadic settlers spreading out across an archipelago of island. Unavailable for the longest time, we've finally managed to get our hands on copies of this elegant little Eurogame and it's made it's way back to our shelves. In Blue Lagoon, each player controls a tribe trying to explore and settle the eight islands of the Blue Lagoon while establishing control of the abundant natural resources found there.  In classic Eurogame style, this is achieved through a 'conflict-less' token placement system as players plonk down tokens representing villagers and huts across the islands, creating long strings of tiles as they attempt to spread across the islands and reach natural resource tokens before other players. Placement of huts becomes even more critical in subsequent rounds as they form the initial starting zones for a [...]

Bigger Editions? – 04/06/24

Hey PI-Fans, There are times when a game is hard to improve on. Spiel de Jahres (Game of the Year) winners like Codenames and Kingdomino for instance are already incredibly elegant titles mechanically... so... well... you can always make them bigger. Coming in at double the regular size of regular Codenames and Kingdomino sets, the XXL and Giant edition of the games function well in party environments, making them excellent with big groups.  If you're looking for a more visually striking gameplay experience, mayhaps consider whether a bigger box will be more your speed.

As a painter competing in an art competition, players need to collect cards representing different art elements, holding on to the ones containing features the match the randomly selected judging criteria of the round.

Canvas comes with it's expansions Reflection and Finishing Touches, each of which provides additional elements to a game of Canvas in addition to combining into a stunningly beautiful triptych of art [...]

Dragomino and a Kingdomino Family Reunion – 04/05/24

Hey PI-Fans, It's been a while since Dragomino, the 2021 Kinderspiel des Jahres winner  offspring of the 2017 Spiel des Jahres Winner Kingdomino has been on our shelves, but it's back (along with it's proud parent and relatives)!   Dragomino features gameplay similar to Kingdomino, but with gameplay suitable for younger players.

Escape Rooms For All Ages – 26/4/24

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.
