Cities of Yesteryear and Speed Reaction – 02/3/24

Hey PI-Fans, Things keep chugging along as always. I'm not sure when the steady stream of new board games became a thing, but here we are. 7 Wonders: Architects - Medals provides a mechanical expansion to the sleek streamlined gameplay of 7 Wonders: Architects with new medal and science mechanic increasing the amount of things players have to fight over. A new edition of the classic Cartagena arrives in the form of Cartagena: Escape Diaries, which builds upon the original (and can be played as the original as well) with extra options and game modes. For the little ones, a restock of the classic Dobble, along with the Camping, Disney Princesses and Animals sets mean plenty of raucous laughter for anyone looking for a speed reaction game.   “You have been sent to the prison of Cartagena. Your task: successfully guide your crew of pirates to escape this perilous fortress. Will [...]

Expansions for all kinds of investigations… – 16/2/24

Hey PI-Fans, Take the opportunity to poke around a bit in the board game releases this week! You'll never know what sort of clues you'll turn up in this slightly investigative focused week. Take a break from the mist choked streets of Arkham County as it is time for The Feast of Hemlock Vale campaign for the Arkham Horror Living Card Game. Take a trip to this scenic isle, partake of the festivities, mingle with the locals... and try to avoid getting eaten - that would be bad. If the getting devoured by the wildlife part sounds problematic, consider a side trip to Echo Ridge City to take on the mob in Tiny Epic Crimes and it's expansion Kingpins. As officers of the law, players need to solve the murder of the Mayor's son and deal with the resultant crime wave before an all out gang war kicks off.    [...]

Random Roll Ups – Store Restocks 21/11

Hey PI-Fans, Nothing says random quite like a strange smattering of board games, card games, miniatures and dice. This, on the other hand does happen from time to time, since the restocks for the week include a pile of weirdness with Renegade Games' Aggretsuko Work/Rage Balance, Leder Games' Ahoy. You'll also be seeing more of Brass Lancashire, Camel Up and Cascadia, as these amazing titles have drifted in aboard the same boat. On the miniature front, few of BattleTech's mercenary units have quite the storied (and strange) reputation of Snord's Irregulars, a famed unit notorious for their tendency towards insubordination and their eccentric magpie-like obsession with "collecting" (or looting) valuables. The Snord's Irregulars Assault Lance leads another wave of BattleTech Merc boxes,  with no guarantee of resupply once they disappear. Then come the Dice. Loads and loads of dice as a long delayed shipment finally completes the journey, leaving us [...]

Store Restocks and the Law of Shipment Attraction

Hey PI-Fans, For those of you who are curious about how logistics for a game company works, the honest answer is it doesn't. No matter how one plans shipments and plot and spaces things out... you can't control the shipping pipeline and while the best planning does mitigate things to an extent, sometimes it all just arrives at once. This is one of those times. The New Arrival shelf is absolutely brimming with piles of new stuff, including the long-awaited return of a slab of Avalon Hill Classics. Meanwhile, the football manager board game Eleven bursts back onto the scene with expansions to keep even the most jaded of coaches happy. Those seeking a more solitary gaming experience can pore over the details with the return of all three MicroMacro: Crime City sets while legacy game fans can look into the massive undertaking that is Oath.     In Oath, [...]
