There is a tradition amongst members of the tabletop wargame community to start new armies with the new year, and here at Games@PI, our staff took it upon themselves to keep with that tradition. Helped along by our New Year, New Army discounts, our staff and regulars began to work on armies for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Warlords rallying troops to their banner and outfitting them in regimental colours. Today’s article will feature two of these armies, both made by members of our staff. […]

Hey PI-Fans,Designed shortly after the Clone Wars and produced in surprising quantities by MandalMotors, despite Empire supervision a rather surprising number of shipments of M3-A Scyk fighters would disappear due to administrative errors – these lost Scyks would inevitably wind up in the hands of the Hutt clans and the Zann Consortium.The Games @ PI team has recently come into possession of one such cache of Scyk fighters and in traditional Mandalmotors style, we’re making them available to X-Wing Scum & Villany players everywhere. Get two X-Wing 1E M3-A Interceptors free with every Star Wars X-Wing Scum & Villany Conversion Kit Purchased. […]

Hey PI-Fans,With arrival of new stock of Hail Hydra and Resistance Avalon and the launch of Crossfire and Ravnica: Inquisition, by some odd quirk of fate, this week looks to be a week of deception themed games.

“Stop the world, I want to get off” goes the song. With the way things are going, perhaps it’s time to go on a long trip. Except… as evidenced by Terraforming Mars: Turmoil, things aren’t going so well up there. Between navigating the political power struggles between ideologies and sending your own delegates to influence the handwringing Terraforming Committee, you’ve got your work cut out for you… if the new global events don’t ruin things entirely.Okay. So maybe Mars is a bit far. We think Japan sounds nice. Ride the Shinkansen in the Ticket to Ride Japan/Italy Expansion. Weigh your options carefully between your contribution to Japan’s growing communal Bullet Train Network, a rail project with routes which are shared with all players and scoring your own individual tracks. After all, nobody likes a free rider and those who skip out will have penalties levied accordingly.And for those who’d rather stay [...]
