See Food (Eat Food) – I’m A Little Crabby, Fishy, Squishy, Crusty & Quirky and Evolution: New World – 17/09/24

Hey PI-Fans, Something running through this week's releases seems to be the theme of edibility. On the lighter side of things are the Exploding Kittens' card game  I'm a Little Crabby, and Unstable Games' Fishy, Squishy, Crusty & Quirky. Anyone wanting something slightly more serious can look into Evolution: New World by CrowD games.   I'm a Little Crabby is a rebranding of the somewhat more scandalously named You've Got Crabs, though it continues to maintain Exploding Kittens brand of quirkyness. In I'm a Little Crabby, teams of two players secretly agree on a hidden action to signal to the other player that that player has successfully drawn a hand of matching Crab cards. When their teammate notices, they will point at the player and shout "You're a little crabby!" If they’re right, that team gets a point. If they’re wrong, that team loses a point. However if a player [...]

Store Restocks – 10/09

Hey PI-Fans, Apologies for the minimal updates so far this month. September has been crazy so far, and we figured it would probably work better for us to focus on keeping the store full of product. Sourcing has see a couple of classic titles run a touch low, so we figure you'll want to know what's back. On the party game front, Really Loud Librarians has popped back up on the shelf, ready to keep you all bellowing words at each other. Likewise Poetry for Neanderthals and it's expansions are back for all your word whacking needs. Keeping on the theme of indiscriminate violence, Let's Hit Each Other with Fake Swords presents an excellent means to resolve any disputed card draw by literally having players bludgeon each other into submission with fake swords. If you were after something a touch more serious, Wingspan and it's expansions have come home to [...]

Take 5! – 30th Anniversary Edition

Hey PI-Fans, Confusing known as Take 5! in the English-speaking world, 6 nimmt! is a classic strategy card game that's been delighting players since it's inception in 1994. Designed around a deck of numbered cards, players are attempting to place cards in ascending order based on their number - each card is placed in the row that ends with the highest number that's below the card's number. When the sixth card is placed in a row, the owner of that card claims the other five cards and the sixth card becomes the first card in a new row. After finishing ten rounds, players tally their score with the player with the fewest points winning! Publisher Amigo Spiele has come out swinging with the Take 5! 30th Anniversary Edition, a special edition of the game which comes with the full original game as well as an extra stack of variant mini-expansions [...]

MTG – DUSKMOURN PREORDERS

In this plane-enveloping House, evil manifests Nightmares and Glitch Ghosts, sends Razorkin into a frenzy, and turns toys and shadows lethal. Come play with us – if you dare. The upcoming Magic: The Gathering Set Duskmourn takes a running leap from Magic's traditional fantasy epic aesthetic and plunges headfirst into the transgressive, edgy stylings of 80's Horror Flicks. In Duskmourn: House of Horror, players will dare to enter a plane-enveloping House where their fears come to life. Aping the style of horror classics, Duskmourn's aesthetics is a heady mix of Saw meets the Ring, with a healthy splash of Nightmare on Elm Street, The Shining and just the faintest hint of Ghostbusters for flavor. We’re taking preorders for this set, so if you want some, let us know. The Preorders closes 25/8/24. No refunds for cancellation. All orders must be placed with full deposit (Deposit will be refunded in the event [...]

Hey PI-Fans, This week's titles skew towards the younger audience, though there's always room at the gaming table for the young at heart.

Animals at War and Charming Landscapes – Air, Land and Sea and Dorfromantik: 29/7

Hey PI-Fans, This week's releases really need no explanation. Air, Land and Sea: Critters at War and Critters at War: Flies, Lies and Supplies are thematic reskins of the excellent 2-player card game Air, Land and Sea and Spies, Lies and Supplies. Redrawn with cartoon animals, the game maintains the simple elegance of the area-majority hand management card game, with players trying to play card totals which outscore their opponent in two or more of the respective scoring zones. Except with fuzzy animals. Given the Bloomburrow Prerelease we held recently for Magic: The Gathering, I'm sensing a theme. The other big arrival of the week Dorfromantic: The Board Game took home to prestigious 2023 Spiel des Jahres. Itself a board game adaptation of the surprisingly chill videogame Dorfromantic, the titular game sees players collaboratively laying down tiles representing areas of the rural countryside. In Dorfromantik: The Board Game, up to [...]

The Restock Run – 23/7/24

Hey PI-Fans, One of the dangers of running a game store for a while is that one's capacity to express glee erodes. The most dangerous disconnect is where everything is met with 😐, no matter how excited you are over things. Pardon the eternal 😐. After a few years, you run out of vocabulary to convey how cool stuff really is.  That said, this week sees another stack of stuff slide off a boat and into the store and the restocks include things from differing board game, card game and wargame lines, so as always, we try to keep a little something for everyone. RPG fans will be happy to know the much abused Dice Rack has been restocked, along with the new printing of the Pathfinder 2nd Edition core books. Those seeking a more cerebral experience can consider the MicroMacro range restock as well, full of item-search detective puzzles, [...]
