News Roundup – 10/01/25

Hey PI - Fans, This week has been a huge week in board gaming, with multiple huge announcements from many game publishers. Without further ado, here are PI picks for the top news of the week! Finspan Announced With the success of Wingspan and Wyrmspan, Stonemaier games has designed another game set in the Wingspan universe, Finspan! Instead of birds or dragons, you are now a marine researcher seeking to find and observe an array of aquatic life in the colorful Sunlight Zone, ghostly Twilight Zone, and pitch-black Midnight Zone of the world’s seas and oceans. From early information and photos taken from Stonemaier games official website, Finspan will primarily work around the same mechanics as Wingspan and Wyrmspan, with the objective of the game being to grow your collection of fish, discover freshly laid eggs, and hatch eggs into young and consolidate young to form schools. The same engine [...]

Blood on the Clocktower, Unstable Unicorns Expansions, Unlock Kids – Legend Stories, Apiary – 19/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, It's been a hot minute but the tide of stock, both big and small, continues to roll in. The headliner this time around is the large-scale social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower, a murder mystery game where a group of players must find the demon within their midst before the town falls victim to its predation. The worker-placement game Apiary is an option for those of the more serious bent, with swarms of uplifted bees engaging in space exploration and colonization in order to win the favor of the hive's queen. The lighter end of the scale sees expansions for Unstable Unicorns arrive, with the Nightmares, Adventures and Unicorns of Legend sets ready to bulk out any copy of Unstable Unicorns or the Unstable Unicorns NSFW edition. If you're entertaining a child while the games are underway, Unlock! Kids - Legendary Stories is another tool in the [...]

Magic Maze: Tower and In A Grove – 17/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, It's always the oddest thing isn't it? Always popular as a timed cooperative party game, Magic Maze is a cooperative board game about navigating a mall sold by us, a store a store in the mall. Having made the leap from the now defunct Dude Games to new publisher Sit Down Games, this new printing of Magic Maze has arrived on the scene along with it's spin off sequel Magic Maze Tower which sees the haplessly broke adventures from the original Magic Maze thrown into jail after their failed plot to acquire adventuring gear through larceny.  Keeping the unintentional crime theme going is the revised edition of In A Grove by Oink Games, another pocket sized deduction based minigame from the people who brought us Durian, Scout and Dokojong. In this pocket sized deduction game, players have to gauge which of the three suspects in a lineup are [...]

Tiny Epic Cthulhu, Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs and Coffee Rush – 05/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, Halloween's just over, but here at Games @ PI, we're believers that nothing is ever quite too late for Cthulhu. The great folks at Gamelyn have pushed out a brand-new Tiny Epic title, this time taking a teeny tiny swing at making a pocket sized Cthulhu game with the aptly named Tiny Epic Cthulhu and its expansion Cult of Chaos. Keeping with the theme of big games in small boxes comes an all new Gloomhaven title with the portable solo-player outing Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs, letting you take your itty-bitty board game adventure everywhere with you. If the horror and adventure themed games don't mesh well with you or your playgroup and you want something competitive though, there is always Coffee Rush, a comfy little action management set collection game by Korea Boardgame where competing Baristas attempt to rush around their workstations serving customers as fast as possible in [...]

Criminal Capers and To Boldly Go – 03/11/24

Hey PI-Fans, Even as we inch into Novemember and the store prepares to load up for the year end Holiday Rush, the demand for new board games to excite the senses doesn't stop. Sure, we could just celebrate the fact that things like Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Root and Wyrmspan are topped up on the shelves, but if you're here for new possibilities, those don't do as much. Instead, we'll focus on the arrival of CGE's Starship Captains and Wiggles 3D's real-time cooperative investigative game 5-Minute Mystery.   Just moments before the Museum of Everything was set to unveil its newest exhibit, the priceless MacGuffin, some criminal snuck in and stole it! Now it's up to you, a team of detectives, to crack the case, find the culprit, and recover the missing MacGuffin. Like a cooperative of Guess Who, 5-Minute Mystery sees a team of players working together to [...]

Warhammer Previews and a… general sneak peek…

Hey PI-Fans, Games Workshop has announced its annual X'Mas Box set waves. We still have no idea what these will be worth but from past experiences, they tend to be incredibly limited. Warhammer 40,000 launches with an Adepta Sororitas, Necron, T'au Empire, Dark Angel and Imperial Knight Battleforce, while Age of Sigmar leads with Maggotkin of Nurgle, Ironjawz, Flesh-Eater Courts and Cities of Sigmar. Give us a shout if you want one. Each Battleforce requires a $100 deposit that counts towards the final price of the box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoCcIn4Rhx4 https://youtu.be/1BRpuMViUqs   On a more intriguing note... The Games At PI game-shelter shelf is live. Come check it out for last-chance-to-buy items, final copies or even random special bundles. The shelf is updated regularly, so pop in and check it out!

A Smorgasbord Of New – 21/10/24

Hey PI-Fans, Although it's been mostly invisible changes from the retail end, behind the scenes, overseeing the warehouse move to a large space has been a rough few weeks. The retail team's done an amazing job covering while I disappeared into the morass that was the warehouse.  On the other hand, things never cease in the gaming sphere as stock continues to flow into the store even if I've been too inundated to make noise about it. The Euro-style city-builder Kutná Hora: The City of Silver and the Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar – Tribes & Prophecies Expansion will happily slot into the library of any gamer. People seeking lighter fare can consider the Dobble DC Comics edition or expand their copy of 5 Minute Dungeon with the 5-Minute Dungeon: Curses! Foiled Again! expansion. Role players can also pick up the 2024 revised edition of the Dungeons & Dragons - Players Handbook. [...]
