Horrible Game Experiences: Board Games

Hey PI-Fans, It's October! The month of exams, Halloween scares and then some. We've all been there before: table top games are meant to be fun and engaging for your friends and family. But sometimes, your game session becomes unfun for you, others and sometimes, gets downright traumatic. Here are some examples of When Game Experiences Go Wrong: Board Games Edition!   Everyone Gangs Up On You Perhaps everyone knows you're the best player around because you're good at strategy. Everyone just decides to take you down by concentrating all their attacks on you by lobbing penalty after penalty on you just to see you suffer. Or for absolutely no reason at all, everyone accuses you of being the 'Werewolf' even though you did absolutely nothing wrong and no one has any proof. Perhaps everyone was just having a really bad day and wanted to target their aggression on you. [...]

Support Local: Bye Bye Virus

Hey PI-Fans, Welcome to Monday! As we all anxiously wait for Phase 3, check out this snazzy local game: Bye Bye Virus! As featured in Straits Times, Yasmine Khater and Denise Lim made the game during Circuit Breaker and successfully funded it via crowd-funding!          Bye Bye Virus pits players in a virus situation where your goal is to keep healthy and stay safe! Collect 5 protection items like face masks, hand sanitizers, gloves and soap to win! But in all craziness, situations change: players could hoard essentials like toilet rolls, cup noodles, canned food. Players could play a government card and change the rules and make other players do silly tasks. If you're not careful, you could get caught by the cops for breaking quarantine or lose cards if a player catches you touching your face! A zany game that everyone can enjoy! Because, why mope [...]

Restocks – Exploding Kittens & Throw Throw Burrito! – September 6, 2020

Hey PI-Fans,   Good Sunday morning to you! We received lots of Kittens and Burritos yesterday evening!   Exploding Kittens & Expansions     The Original Exploding Kittens is a hot potato, party game favorite! The basic premise is: don't get the exploding kitten! Play cards to defuse, distract the kitten, attack other players and basically stop yourself from being taken out of the game! It's a wacky, goofy, frantic game full of silly!   If you need the game for more people, there's the Exploding Party Pack which scales the game to 10 players!   If you're playing with grown ups who want to really hang lose and have fun, there's the NSFW (not safe for work) Exploding Kittens box.     There are 3 different expansions for classic Exploding Kittens:   1. Imploding Kittens - which scales the game to 6 players and even has a cardboard 'cone [...]

New Releases – September 4, 2020

Hey PI-Fans, Yes folks, it's already September and the start of the school holidays! We have not 1, but 3 New Releases today: CTRL, Unlock! Epic Adventures and Forgotten Waters.     CTRL Pronounced 'Control', this abstract 3D block game is all about covering a cube with your coloured blocks! In the box, there's a cube, many coloured bricks and coloured flags. To start, claim a corner of the cube and plant your flag. On your turn, you remove your coloured flag (which indicates your starting point) add 2 bricks in a straight line to 'grow' your territory. In later stages, you can take over your friend's turf by sticking your coloured bricks on top of theirs! Scoring gets interesting where as long as you can see your coloured brick from all sides of the cube, it counts! You get more points for stacking your block higher!  A quick, highly strategic [...]
