Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – March 31st

Hey PI-Fans, Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet - March 31st Not only has series protagonist Ash Ketchum (Satoshi to the Japanese purists) taken his victory lap after being an eternally scrappy 10-year old since 1997, the Sword & Shield set for the Pokémon card game which has been with us since before the pandemic in 2020 is finally wrapping up and we're moving on from Galar! Spare a thought for your local Pokémon fan - It's a period of dramatic change for them. The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet set is the next generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and is moving into the new Paldea region. ScarVio, as we're calling it, sees the return of the classic 'ex' mechanic, last seen in the wild back in 2007, as well as a shift to silver borders for the trading cards, an artistic touch that brings the sets more in line [...]

Stack’n Stuff – A Patchwork Game

Hey PI-Fans, Stack n' Stuff - A Patchwork Game is a reimplementation of the classic Patchwork, but streamlined for family gaming night.  In Stack n' Stuff, each player is attempting to load up a moving truck with oddly shaped furniture to best utilise the cargo space in their vehicle by cramming it with as much as possible while using time as efficiently as they can. As befitting a Patchwork game, each item a player fits into their vehicle takes time to load, pushing a player's turn order token further along a time track, with the player who has used less time being the active player. As a result, it is very possible for a player to chain together a string of turns, allowing them to strategically catch up to an opponent which has grabbed an early lead. With colorful and attractive art and simple to learn gameplay, as a retheme [...]

Azul and Century Golem – Glass and Golems

Hey PI-Fans, A restock of both the Century Golem series and Azul have meandered into the store after spending way too long stuck in limbo and it's a bulky shipment of stuff, with all five of the Azul titles, including the special Master Chocolatier special edition set and all three Century Golem titles now available on our shelves. The four main Azul titles - Azul, Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra, Azul: Summer Pavilion and Azul: Queen's Garden are beautiful games with a masterfully elegant take on resource drafting. Players alternate turns to draft tiles from a central market while cheekily working to force opponents to take more than they need. The special Azul: Master Chocolatier edition on the other hand is a unique candy retheme of the classic Azul, replacing the tiles of the original with pieces patterned after chocolate pralines! If you really like Azul, consider picking up a [...]

Catan Traveler – The Catan for when you just want to play Catan

Hey PI-Fans, If you're like us and enjoy the occasional round of Catan or two with friends but struggle to get the playgroup to use the expansions (a travesty I know), the nifty little Catan Traveler is probably the Catan set to own, especially if you're concerned about space and portability. Essentially a full set of the Catan base game for four players, Catan Traveler goes a step beyond the original for including special rules for two-players as well (since it can prove vaguely difficult to pack a third player in a suitcase). Everything fits neatly into the additional drawers built into the case, with card holders for the resource cards, and a dice shaker to keep individual dice from doing a runner. While it can't work with the full scale expansions, these factors combine to make this neat little set an excellent gift for a person with tight space [...]

YOU LYING SACK – A Game By The Exploding Kittens Company

Hey PI-Fans, In a weird collision of entertainment IPs,  YOU LYING SACK is a social game designed by illusionist Pen Jillette of 'Penn & Teller' and published by The Exploding Kitten company. In an intense game of social cues and poker faces YOU LYING SACK is a game of outsmarting your friends in a giant player elimination game of You-Know-That-I-Know (But do You-Know-That-I-Know-That-You-Know-That-I-Know) and rides more on how well players know each other and can read each other's tells and social makers. Each turn a players reaches into the titular Lying Sack and retrieves a number of 'Bad Thing' tokens as indicated on an escalating chart. Alternatively, they can feel around and retrieve the hidden 'Good Thing' token instead.

Keeping it bottled up – A ‘Soda Smugglers’ Review

Hey PI-Fans, Lawmakers are cracking down on soda, and tight regulation has made way for lucrative smuggling. One bottle per person is the new law — thus bribes, suitcase inspections, and arrests are on the agenda. Only one will emerge the Soda Kingpin. Reiner Knizia's Soda Smugglers is a light three to eight player party game based on Knizia's own 'Heisse Ware: Krimi-Kartenspiel fur clevere Schmuggler', an absolute mouthful of a game loosely translating to 'Hot Merchandise: Criminal Card Game for Clever Smugglers'. Like it's contemporary, 'Sheriff of Nottingham', it draws a loose evolutionary lineage from a 1950s era game 'Contraband', but Soda Smugglers remains far more focused on light and accessible gameplay, making it stand out as a party game. Upon unfastening the magnetic clasp on a Soda Smugglers box, one of the first things to catch the eye is the quality of the insert and overall design. Bitewing Games [...]
