I tried Gloomhaven, I dunno, it just wasn't for me. I was super excited to try out this new card combat system, but then realized they just replaced the DIE with a random generated deck multiplier. The way abilities work is pretty intuitive I will give them that, but honestly I would rather just roll a die than be picking from that other pile.
I also couldn't get behind all the funky classes/races. I am a pretty traditional fantasy fan, classic classes and roles. It is an incredibly well designed game, and sooooo deep. But ya..
I also didn't like the standees. With contrast paints now you can bang out mini paint jobs at a very quick pace if you just want tabletop standard. I prefer a miniature on the table versus a standee even if it means less variety.
But I am in the minority obviously as the game was widely popular.
