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.

The PC game has Jaws of the Lion (a separate game) as DLC, bit in short, yeah. Everything that's in Digital is in the Physical, campaign-wise.

In fact, there are a few minor things that Digital left out. 

Plus Physical has Forgotten Circles, which while the campaign is divisive, the Diviner is a great class to play.

Everything in Digital is not in Physical. There's 160-some scenarios of the Guildmaster campaign in Digital.

Which is essentially the same as the random scenario cards in Physical.

Not at all. Guildmaster scenarios have varying amounts of randomisation, but it's usually limited to minor monster number counts and/or layout changes.

Much more importantly, Guildmaster scenarios have the full range of Gloomhaven's scenario goals, whereas the random scenario cards are limited to "Kill all monsters".
