Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I found Gloomhaven too punishing to get past the first few (failed) quests. I kept running out of cards and becoming exhausted.
It's easiest with 3 people. With 2 it can be difficult to work together. With 4 the amount of enemies can become overwhelming. As for running out of cards, don't use discard cards during the first few rounds! Check out the calculator at: https://www.boardgamemath.com/boardgames/gloomhaven/gloomhavenStaminaCalculator.html
Playing a discard on your first round means that you have 4 or 5 rounds less to play before you are exhausted. Don't forget you can always play a standard move or attack 2 action. You don't gave to play the discard action.
