    So, Gloomhaven and Betrayal at the House on the Hill (D&D edition). It baffles me that they didn’t mention the actual D&D board games and instead listed two TTRPG systems plus the trashy campaign module for one of them.

    Then again, people who are into D&D often really only are into D&D and not willing to branch out very far so that tracks.
    Kind of surprised at Gloomhaven being suggested because it has a dungeon crawl theme over a good Euro hand-management engine and most D&Ders are probably scratching their heads at that.

      Gloomhaven is a really poor suggestion IMO. It seems like a recommendation made by someone who has only played one, and isn’t actually familiar with the other (beyond maybe what they’ve heard online).

        Very much agreed. A couple months back it would have been the token “I looked at BGG and the #1 board game there looks pretty D&D like so here we are” recommendation.

        I’m happy it’s there because it is a very good game - but also highly likely to leave the article’s target audience frustrated and confused.
