I’ve never played the board game because a) it’s pretty pricey and b) I don’t have a consistent group to play it with. I also do love digital adaptations of epic board games because it makes managing turns, cards, health etc way easier. That being said, this port of Gloomhaven is clearly very taxing on the aged hardware of the switch. I’m sure the PC version of the digital adaption runs better/faster/prettier etc. I’ve been playing by myself and despite all my complaints about the switch version, still thoroughly enjoying it.

I’ve been obsessed with gloomhaven since it was released on the switch. Sure it has a lot of UI issues and absolutely devours my switch’s battery life but it really scratches a heavy strategy itch in my brain. It is a very difficult game but with every failed “run” you keep all the gold and experience you gained so even failing a scenario helps progress you towards leveling up and being able to buy new items to help you in future endeavors. Every win I have eked out has felt really hard won and rewarding because of that.

Nice! I backed the kickstarter as soon as it came out but I haven’t played the game yet on TTS. I did watch Jorbs stream it with one of the developers and it looked awesome. “This is the first time I’ve ever needed one more gold at the store and the devs have actually stopped by to give me one more gold”

Hive is a great travel game! It’s small (so therefore easy to transport) and just requires any flat surface to play on. It’s a turn based game where your objective is to place tiles (which have different bugs on them) to surround your opponents Queen whilst also defending your own Queen from being surrounded. It has a surprisingly deep level of strategy involved for such a simple game.

Have you ever played Hive? Super simple to learn 2 player game that is easy to transport since it doesn’t require a board (just any flat surface). It has a surprisingly deep strategic element and also has a few expansions that just add new bug types to add even more layers to gameplay. Highly recommend checking it out!
