    how does this compare to the physical boardgame? Less screentime is always something that I want in my life, but the boardgame version doesn’t seem like something one would easily pick up

      Its a huge board game. I hate to be one of those “the book is better” folks - but I think a lot of what Gloomhaven brings is in the players themselves.

      Though as something thats probably much less of a time commitment - you lose one thing, gain another!

        that’s about what I thought, thanks!

        maybe worth checking out the video game version then, as a sort of demo for the real thing

      How would you say the game is playing solo? Or is it something that can only be fully enjoyed when playing with others?

        I’ve played a bunch solo which is a lot quicker but more isolated. The “prefered” way is to play with 2-4 players for sure. Still I got a good 40ish hours out of it by my own.
