Review revisit: Little But Fierce (D&D 5e for kids + 2 years of expansions)

Today’s review is a revisit of Little But Fierce! Since it released, Little But Fierce has had four new expansions come out that have really changed the game and give some new options for play! I’m excited to take another look at this awesome game, and congrats to LBF on the 2 year anniversary!
