Quotes (from this video)
  • I love Gloom Haven but due to the time and setup and tear down and having to replay many missions my wife and I haven't finished any of the games until now.
  • I love buttons and bugs and for $15 I was able to take the cutest Gloom Haven on the planet which is a phrase I never thought I'd be saying on a business trip with me and play through three scenarios on the desk in the hotel.
  • The size and simplicity and the duration all make this game a winner for me and most likely the first Gloom Haven I'll finish.
  • I really enjoyed my play of buttons and bugs which I was not expecting.
  • I enjoyed it that much I thought it was great and at some point there's a Twist and you go what how okay cool let's do that.
  • This coin system has been the most remarkable bridge between different parts of the hobby that just really stands out and shows that it must be something very very special.
