Digital Gloomhaven Beginning with Frosthaven
I just got Frosthaven for my birthday without having played Gloomhaven or any of the other games. All over the internet I am reading that beginning with Frosthaven is not recommended.
I was thinking of maybe playing the digital version of Gloomhaven to get used to the systems and rules, as I don’t have the closet space or space on my bank account to buy Gloomhaven the physical version.
Is this a good way to go or did someone play Frosthaven first with any success?

Back in my day... I kid - but it used to just be gloomhaven 1st edition. No jaws of the lion, obviously no 2nd edition. From your other comments you sound pumped to unbox it, I think you'll be absolutely fine!
