BoardGameCo Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/boardgameco
So....we live in the age of plastic. Minis that are everywhere, including somethings that are suspiciously non mini such as the giant Cthulhu, or the Joan of Arc dragon and who knows what's next. Games keep coming out with larger and larger miniatures, more and more boxes full of plastic, and none of it necessary.
