The game's fun and a good deal for the money. The lack of rules sucks though, and the online version of the rules are lacking. I understand that the rules needed to not be included for production reasons, but that doesn't make it not suck.

I'll knock 1 point off for lack of rules.

An excellent puzzle game in a small box, with a dungeoneering theme that's quite nice and helps teach the player about Gloomhaven.

I'm definitely liking this better than the other Gloomhaven I've played.

I like the puzzle, I like the variability with different characters... Since it's tighter I'm losing a lot more, but the scenarios are shorter and easier to set up, so it's a better feeling than losing a regular GH game which can take up to two hours and there are others involved who have to suffer with you.

I overall enjoyed the GH campaign I played with my friends. I thought the mechanic were much better than the common dice chucking in other dungeon crawlers I've played, and It was also a nice social activity. But after a while it felt like an obligation and you're playing for months and it's taking up game time that you'd be using to play other games. This is not that, and that's what I love about it! A game with those same mechanics I liked but you can just bust it out and get though on your own whenever you have a little spare time.

I'm hoping they continue to support this game. A nice pack of cards for another adventure would be great, maybe some official 2p variant rules (though in the meantime I'll look into the fan ones already posted here on BGG) so maybe one of my kids can hop in, and another character would be really nice.

But even without that I feel like there's still a lot for me to get though in this one little box.

As a solo game, it bored me after 5h. My first try to entering the gloom haven title, didnt work well.

超主观点评(solo局): 1、故事挺有趣的--我被缩小了,要找到恢复大小的方法。 2、一个手掌大的盒子内置6个有自己的技能角色,怪物,装备什么的都齐了,麻雀虽小五脏俱全啊,玩的时候也不需要太大的空间,便携易开,好评! 3、将一卡多用做得很好,场景卡正面是剧情、怪物、人物目标、特殊规则等,翻面就变成地图,通关后又可以变成自己的物品,难度还可以自由调节,可以同时满足只想体验剧情和自我挑战的玩家。 4、盒子小,内容可不少,完整的规则书有36页,各种要素都很齐全,比如元素、附加效果、地形影响等。 吐槽一下: 完整的规则书好大一本,完全装不进盒子,真是逼死强迫症!
