In Search of Brickadia: The Summer of 2015 Recap Post

Finally, we have what will likely be our last foray into Chima, as that line has now been sunsetted. Erik and I were left at home to our own devices soon after I got back from one of my work trips north. So, after dropping a few shekels on two Chima tribe boxes, we had a little build and battle.
