Hey PI-Fans, If you enjoy the little satisfaction of building things that last, boy is 2025 not looking great in that regard - the collapse of the Diamond Comic Distribution company (along with its game distribution arms) has cast a bit of a pall over the industry and indicated that the year 2025 has every intention of coming out of the gate acting spicy. For those of us who game though, at least there's board games for those of us who want to experience the joy of a little successful chill. To that end, we're always up for a bit of Wingspan. Birds are nice. They would never... To that end, we're always up for a bit of Wyrmspan. Dragons are nice. Also fictional, so they would never crap on us. Wingspan, its 2-player Standalone Expansion Wingspan Asia and Wyrmspan are amazingly pretty low-interaction euro-style game with players working to [...]
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 [...]
Hey PI - Fans, Last month, The Guardian published an interview with Tim Clare, award winning author, upon the release of his newest book, "The Game Changers: How Playing Games Changed the World and Can Change You Too".

Hey PI-Fans, It can't be the big ones every week (and by most standards Blood on the Clocktower is plenty big) so this week we've taken a moment to take a look at the ever popular Dobble range. Known as Spot It in the US and Dobble just about anywhere else, in keeping with the idea that you can paste just about anything on a Dobble set, they've done quite a few. From the Classic Dobble, to Animals, DC, Harry Potter and Star Wars Characters, there's now a dearth of Dobble variants for your needs. The icing on the cake however is the Dobble Anarchy Pancakes, a collab between the Dobble crew and the wacky minds at The Exploding Kittens Company. Anarchy Pancakes takes a spin on the original matching formula with the introduction of single image cards which are significantly harder to spot matches with and get rid of [...]
