Dixit – a family card/board game reviewed

Thor:Ragnarok – a Schleich figure review
I love the quality of Schleich figures, they are beautifully made and hand painted with incredible attention to detail. This Thor figure is no exception to the rule. It comes in a well made but light box, ideal for storage if you are a collector who likes to keep figures in pristine condition. If, however,…
