Age of Sigmar Skaventide – Early Bird Preorders

Hey PI-Fans, Greetings Man-Things, the time of the Vermindoom is close. Yes-yes. Kill-Kill Storm-Things. Games Workshop has been very very uncoy about the fact that the Age of Sigmar 4th Edition is upon us, in all it's Skaven vs Stormcast glory. The massive Skaventide launch box comes with an expected price tag to match as well - as part of one of their website lucky draw declarations, they've valued the box as follows in the fine print. "The value of the contents of each prize is GBP £160 (one hundred and sixty) / AUD $450(four hundred and fifty) Australian Dollars/ USD $265 (two hundred and sixty five US dollars/ EU €210 (two hundred and ten) Euros."

Bigger Editions? – 04/06/24

Hey PI-Fans, There are times when a game is hard to improve on. Spiel de Jahres (Game of the Year) winners like Codenames and Kingdomino for instance are already incredibly elegant titles mechanically... so... well... you can always make them bigger. Coming in at double the regular size of regular Codenames and Kingdomino sets, the XXL and Giant edition of the games function well in party environments, making them excellent with big groups.  If you're looking for a more visually striking gameplay experience, mayhaps consider whether a bigger box will be more your speed.

Canvas, Canvas Reflections, Canvas Finishing Touches – 14/5/24

Hey PI-Fans, If you're anything quite like me, you're a complete sucker for a game that leans in on a theme. The Canvas series is one of those games. As a painter competing in an art competition, players need to collect cards representing different art elements, holding on to the ones containing features the match the randomly selected judging criteria of the round.

Canvas comes with it's expansions Reflection and Finishing Touches, each of which provides additional elements to a game of Canvas in addition to combining into a stunningly beautiful triptych of art [...]

Hey PI-Fans, It's been a while since Dragomino, the 2021 Kinderspiel des Jahres winner  offspring of the 2017 Spiel des Jahres Winner Kingdomino has been on our shelves, but it's back (along with it's proud parent and relatives)!   Dragomino features gameplay similar to Kingdomino, but with gameplay suitable for younger players.

Escape Rooms For All Ages – 26/4/24

Hey PI-Fans, This week's announcement is going to be a short one - as I have discovered to my chagrin, having a phone fail on can affect the regular posting demeanor.  That said, rain, sun, phone bricking itself doesn't stop the rest of the team from keeping the games chugging along.  This week sees us pop out a pair of Escape Room themed titles, with the arrival of a pair of boxes for UNLOCK! Kids (Detective Stories and Stories from the Past) as well as the Lord of the Rings Shadows Over Middle Earth EXIT set. If you want to take a cooperative take on the pocket box escape room genre for you or the little ones, this might be an opportune moment. - Kenneth, Games @ PI Manager (under technical duress) Hopefully back to regular posting SOON TM.
