Very mechanical, abstract and repetitive, and I wouldn't call it particularly thematic (the strength surely lies in the player card mechanisms), but intriguing nonetheless, as an optimization puzzle. I strongly dislike the limitations on communication; my favorite way of playing cooperatively is to discuss all decisions together, and to come up with the optimal solution as a team. Also, the game looks horrendously uninspiring. The box cover looks deceptively intriguing, but what's inside is incredibly dull. The game needs a MAJOR graphical overhaul. With each play so far, the game feels more and more like an abstract, mechanical, repetitive challenge with a clever system where a few components (your hand of cards) can be combined in multiple ways for many potential solutions, and it feels like the thematic and narrative efforts are just silly. To sum it up: an abstract, tactical puzzle with a clever mechanism at heart. Played again: hopefully this was the last time I had to play Gloomhaven.

Games of the genre are always a bit of a task to set up and take down but other than that pure perfection. Very fun. Introduced it to a few friends that wouldnt normally play these kind of games but they were shocked and really enjoyed gloomhaven once they learned the mechanics which only took about a half hour to get it down.
