Hey PI-Fans, The Betrayer's War expansion for the Descent: Legends of the Dark board game is an absolute doozy. Arriving in a massive box almost the same size as the original, the game of cooperative 3D dungeon crawling returns with a massive expansion to the main in a campaign that takes on the role of Act 2 of the journey of the heroes through Terrinoth. Building on the original, the game will continue to send heroes questing across a variety of different terrain and encounters as they seek to end the threat of the Waiqar the Undying, Dragonlord Levirax and the monstrous Uthuk Y’llan. Whether they succeed, on the other hand depends on the skill, luck and tenacity of the players in this App-Driven Game-Masterless dungeon romp. If you've ever wanted to play a RPG campaign but could never settle on armtwisting someone in to being the GM, this may [...]
Hey PI-Fans, We've always stood by the philosophy of "Play Games and Have Fun". When shipments drop in from the sky, they do fantastic jobs of broadening the shelf range, with this one coming with a massive mix of board and card games for all ages. We'll go into a bit more details in coming days as we focus on the specific titles in details, but in the meantime it's worth showcasing the restock wave as a whole!

Hey PI-Fans, Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost? If the answer is "yes," then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals... Okay. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, maybe consider this week's shelf arrival Mists over Carcassonne, a cooperative reimplementation of the board game classic that sees players band together to build the prefecture before it is swallowed by an overwhelming malevolent mist. Designed as a standalone expansion for classic Carcassonne, Mists over Carcassonne introduces Mist Tiles to the traditional game of roads, fields and cities, which when placed on the board, come replete with their own complement of ghosts meeples. These ghastly supernatural interlopers serve as a 'death clock' of sorts for [...]
Hey PI-Fans, You've probably seen this way too many times, but due diligence demands the announcement be made. Pallets of stuff have drifted in from across the ocean and have meandered their way onto the store shelves yet again. This of course means filled shelves and stacks upon stacks of cool stuff so if you fancy a card game with a bit more depth you can pick up Happy Little Dinosaurs, Here to Slay or grab a copy of Citadels. A reload of our party games shelves with Exploding Kittens, Zombie Kittens, Really Loud Librarians, Poetry for Neanderthals and Hand to Hand Wombat provides a spread of cool stuff to keep the laughter going. On top of this, The Great Train Robbery expansion for BANG! The Card Game has trundled into the station. If you want your classics, Catan, Ticket to Ride, Pandemic and Dixit all see core set reloads [...]

Hey PI-Fans, Now that the man-eating bugs have moved on and the dust has cleared, it's time to conduct the promo giveaway for the set of giveaway swag that Games Workshop provided us.

Hey PI-Fans, Are you a fan of Civ style games? Perhaps we have a game for you. Portal Game's Brazil Imperial presents an euro-style take on the traditional 4X game (eXpand, eXplore, eXploit, eXterminate). Brazil Imperial is played on a modular map board that recreate real regions in Brazil during the 16th century,, utilising a combination of worker placement mechanics, engine building and area control to dominate the differing eras. Designed as a midweight empire-builder, players take control of a colonial power seeking to make your mark on the country by expanding their imperial control over the passage of three eras. Players are tasked with contructing cities, farms and mines to produce wood, sugar cane, coffee, raise armies and march out to explore (and occupy) the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxYQAXW03xw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXcl9VyGcP4
