Nemesis Greek Goddess is an exquisite mini from Morland Studios.  Being a fan of Greek mythology I was very happy to do this video.   There’s something about the Morland miniatures that sets them a part and makes them different.  I can’t quite put the right words on what they capture but they grab it very well.

 

 

I look forward to painting Nemesis up.  I just hope my brush strokes are kind to to her.

Di Di2Dixit: Daydreams

$29.99

 

In Dixit, each round one player takes on the role of Storyteller, choosing one card from his hand, then telling a story, singing a ditty, or otherwise doing something that in his opinion is associated with the played card. Each other player then chooses one card in her own hand and gives it to the Storyteller in secret. These cards are shuffled and revealed, then players vote on which card was played by the Storyteller. If either no one or everyone votes for the Storyteller, then he receives no points; if he received some votes but not all of the votes, he scores based on the number of votes received. Each player who submitted a correct vote or who received a vote on her card submission also scores. After a certain number of rounds, the player with the most points wins.
