oh god, Gloomhaven can be a mildly stressful game :blobfearful:

ten scenarios in, and I kinda feel like the most recent one aged me a tiny bit. bloody monster of a board game

@froyo255 @Chel it's the show Haven but all of the characters are played by the pokemon Gloom

@froyo255 a monster tabletop game, lol. the box was 20+ pounds, has over a thousand cards, dozens of modular boards, etc.

here's a look at the box contents, found via GIS

it was expensive af, but it's also like a 100+ hour campaign from what we've heard :blobsleepless:

@Zelli @froyo255 this thing makes arkham look like a little babby game tbh

@Chel @froyo255 How many months do you expect the tabletop you're using to be occupied?? :'D

@Zelli @froyo255 we've been eating dinner at our computer desks for the last two weeks since putting the game away and taking it back out is just too much of a pita >.>;

@Chel @froyo255 would you even be able to remember how to set it back up if you put it away??? those kinds of time-intensive games always seemed like you had to have the space completely reserved so you don't lose your place. it's why we never really got anywhere in arkham horror (':

@Zelli @Chel @froyo255 a lot of the tracking is included in the game itself - it's a legacy game do you remove cards, check things off, and do other stuff to indicate progress

as a result... the game kinda saves itself. with that said, ive also built a system that kinda works for keeping track of things and we use an app

@Scarly @Zelli @froyo255 ah yes, arkham. have I ever told you about the time scarly made me play like 13 hours of it in one weekend? :blobrofl:

@Chel @Scarly @froyo255 OH NO!!! well now you HAVE to tell me what happened

(if you want to)

@Zelli @Scarly @froyo255 not much, lol

we just played it... and played it... and played it... until we won

(there was a lot of shit miserable luck involved)

@Chel @Scarly @froyo255 shit luck sounds par for the course for a lovecraft-inspired game to be fair xD
