GLOOMHAVEN: BUTTONS & BUGS is a solo play game, with an original campaign story written by Isaac Childres, that features a playstyle similar to Gloomhaven in a fraction of the size. Set after the events of Gloomhaven and Forgotten Circles. The Aesther recluse Hail has earned a reputation for being highly instrumental in saving the city from recurring disasters, and she absolutely hates it. Wannabe heroes are constantly barging in on her studies at the Crooked Bone, looking for help in becoming famous themselves — not to mention all the demons that come by looking for vengeance. She briefly considered moving, but as that would require effort, she instead just placed an enchantment on her front door: Anyone who attempts to open it becomes miniaturized and therefore is no longer a problem. Your character is one such wannabe hero. In an ill-advised attempt at fame, they try to visit Hail, and poof. Now they’re the size of a mouse and have entered an entirely different realm of lawlessness and self-preservation. They must find a new way into the Crooked Bone to convince Hail to return them to their previous size. Each scenario is a single card, pitting one mercenary against a handful of enemies with simplified actions and AI. Each mercenary has a hand of just four double-sided cards, but they can be used twice — both the front and the back — before they are discarded. Attacks are resolved using a die in conjunction with a modifier table, and both the table and the mercenary ability cards can be improved as you level up throughout the campaign.

Get it!
This is a delightful miniature version of the other big box games in the series. Small enough to bring through an airport and interesting enough to get you through a flight delay. It’s an incredible way to spend some time not looking at a screen! The only thing I wish was different is that it was two player, but beggars can’t be choosers. This game is an excellent value for the money. If you like the Gloomhaven franchise this is a must buy.

Easy to learn fun to play
Very well made. High quality just small in size. Games fun and is a great intro to the full game. Also there’s an app that walks you through the first mission so it’s easy to learn.

Favorite solo travel game.
Easily one of the best (and most packed) small box boardgames I’ve ever played. A permanent addition to my travel bag.

It is a fantastic experience with perfect quality and Gloomhaven mechanics. We bought Gloomhaven JOTL after that and started immediately cause we were aware of the gameplay from the B&B. Strongly recommend.

Great game but don’t let the size deceive you. This isn’t beginner gloomhaven ; it’s gloomhaven but smaller. If that’s ok then you’re in for a cerebral time.

A pesar de ser un juegod e caja chica, tiene las mecánicas del Gloomhaven original. Tiene bastantes cartas y componentes, las miniaturas están muy bien para su tamaño (son más pequeñas de lo normal). No requiere mucho espacio ni una preparación ardua por lo que puedes jugarlo donde sea.Es 100% en solitario, pero hay regalas caseras para jugarlo de 2 o hasta 4 jugadores.Lo recomiendo mucho

È come avere Gloomhaven in una scatola grande poco più di un mazzo di carte. Il gioco è completo, ci sono molti livelli con numerosi oggetti, nemici e personaggi da interpretare. L’unica pecca è che il regolamento completo non sta dentro la scatola, ma va scaricato dal sito, e che è solo in inglese.
