If you're looking for a 'heavy' board game that hit's that D&D itch without needing a dedicated GM, you should really check this out. Go watch some video reviews first though - it's not perfect. But my friends and I are really digging it, more than we expected. Would buy again.

I don't normally play board games or any rpg that is not a video game. The price tag did make Gloomhaven look less appealing, however this singular box contains so much. I needed to purchase extra containers just to close the box! Yes, it is easier to play a video game. Yes, it does take a while to setup and clean up. Yes, the rules for the enemy movement is very confusing. Yes, you will lose a ton and will have to set everything up again. Yes, it takes a very long time to play and it gets exponentially worse with each added player. However none of these issues would prevent me from trying again. Your decisions will stick with you to the end of this game. Oddly enough I have no regrets, even with my poor choices. Try a round with a friend's Gloomhaven first. If you cannot wait to see what happens next, buy it. Play it solo and master the basics (have a search engine ready). This game does fantasy in a different universe from your standard dwarves and elves. Discovering is a huge part of this world (mostly in dungeons). Do I have a score? No, because honestly I don't have anything similar to compare it to. Just be ready to have fun. Young kids are not recommended for this game. Try mystics and mice instead or pokemon. Read full review

Gigantic box, tons of components, interesting packaging. Broad rule set, fairly complex, but interesting new card management mechanics and an enjoyable rpg-style campaign backed miniature combat board game.

Amazing game. Three years later, I’ve played over 2/3 of the missions already but I had to go out and buy the whole thing again to play with a new group of friends. Childress just made a real winner here.

22 pounds of cardboard awesomeness. You'll need a lot of time and a lot of space but it's completely worth it. Definitely invest in an organization system.
