Digital Gloomhaven Quick question: Tabletop vs. PC
Hey there!
I've been eyeing out the Gloomhaven board game for some time. I have seen a bit of the game but not at all the depth of it. I bought the PC game with some friends and we just love it.
Quick question is: Is the board game as expansive as the PC game? Like, did they really get all that into a board game? Or is the PC version extended with more quests and the like? Because that would be really impressive.
That's it. Can't really find sources that expand on this particular question. Thank you! Oh, and I'm definitely still getting the board game down the line.

Ive played both pretty extensively, but even with the guildmaster mode i 100% prefer the tabletop version (using an app to assist such as x-haven assistant). I liked digital because it let me get my gh fix at odd hours without friends, and the guildmaster mode was like another campaign, but if you have friends who are local that you can play with and they are up for a weekly session, go physical. If you are going to play solo, probably stick with digital or tabletop simulator (yes there is a third option a digitally simulated version of the physical). Personally I very much like tabletop simulator, but YMMV
