Gloomhaven

My brother picked up this game and he and I formed a party, and I'm enjoying it so far. The game combines dungeon crawler elements and tabletop roleplaying with turn-based strategy based navigation and combat (movement and attack ranges being determined by hex grid tiles) and has a campaign written out with structure comparable to a video game. We're still early on, and I'm starting with the Tinkerer class (a Combat Medic who is probably the most reliable source of healing early in the game, with several powerful AOE moves but which reduce the player's arsenal for the duration of the scenario, a high cost when a completely depleted arsenal is one possible defeat condition) while my brother is playing the Mindthief (a squishier class that fights with indirect damage such as summons or taking control of enemies). It might be hard to discuss without going into spoilers (for example, there are 11 unlockable classes before counting expansions, compared to 6 starting classes, all of which I'd count as spoilers), but any other players?

I'm aware the game existed, for some reason thought it was a Games Workshop title. Players versus the board?

Yeah, it's pure PvE.

Discovered it too, and going to start a campaign this weekend. The rules look complicated at first as they bombard you with information but once you've gotten a hang of them, it becomes a lot more understandable.
