Dude I dunno. Kingdom Death seems like it’s in a similar space. I dunno that I’d feel the pull to Gloomhaven if I already had KD and played and liked it.

I have no sense of how the KD setting actually develops over time, other than the fact you can reset it.

I watched KD played for a bit (over Christian Griffen’s shoulder) last year and it looked boring and grindy to me. The fighting bits, that is. It’s a big empty arena, yeah? At least the white lion scenario was. I didn’t get to see the village part. I’ve heard Gloomhaven compared to Mage Knight in terms of the hand management vibe, and that’s a very strong sales point for me.
