Hey PI-Fans, We've just had a chunky load of Catan float into port and we figured we probably ought to just highlight that the base range of Catan sets, Expansions and Extensions are back in-stock, including Seafarers, Traders & Barbarians, Explorers & Pirates and the much sought after Cities & Knights. There's more on the way as we work our way through the stack of boxes, so expect us to be even more giddy with excitement throughout the week.   - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager

Hey PI-Fans, Another week, another release. This time, its Quirky Circuits: Penny & Gizmo's Snow Day!, a wacky programming themed cooperative board game where players must work together to send a little robot friend careening across the board like a cat on a roomba. Well... there actually IS A CAT ON A ROOMBA... In Quirky Circuits, players must successfully program a set of sequential actions for their little robot buddies using their command cards without communication. Chase down dust bunnies with the vacuum cleaning Gizmo and collect flags on a slalom course with the skiing Penny the Penguin! Players have only limited information as to which cards their teammates have played, raising the stakes with each action played. Program wrongly and your robo-friend could be left spinning its wheels in a corner as they run out of batteries. This adorable little logic puzzler is playable at 2-4 players, with [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Are you looking for elegant little game small enough to stuff in a pocket? Consider Henry Audubon's TRAILS, a tiny reimplementation of his nature focused Parks and rocket-retro Space Park. As a purely standalone title, TRAILS is illustrated with beautiful minimalistic art that takes players on a hike across the landscapes of various National Parks in the United States. In TRAILS, players hike back and forth along the trail, collecting rocks, acorns and leaves; taking pictures; and encountering wildlife to gain bonuses. At trailhead and trail end, you can turn in resources to earn badges, after which you start back in the other direction. As players meander up and down the paths, the sun slowly sets, transforming locations from day to night and making their options even more powerful, but the setting sun also serves as a timer to mark the end of the game meaning the clock [...]

Hey PI-Fans, It's time for a wordy weekend. You've already seen Codenames: Singapore Edition,  an all new edition of the classic word game which debuted earlier. Containing an entirely new deck of words and fully compatible with the classic Codenames, Codenames: Singapore is playable on it's own, but also doubles up as an amazing expansion for the Top Secret Word Game, ready to inject a touch of local flavor to any game session. It even makes an excellent gift and a perfect souvenir for a trip to our sunny island. To keep the word theme going though, there's A Little Wordy, a clever little two player deduction game of trying to guess the opponent's secret word from the designers of Exploding Kittens. The game requires players to assemble a word from a set of tiles and keep that Secret Word to themselves. Both players then take turns trying to decipher [...]
