I am a big fan of Gloomhaven and Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion. As a fan of the big brother to Buttons and Bugs, I was excited to play this solo only smaller quicker to set up and play version of Gloomhaven. How does this version compare to its big brother? Is it worth adding to the Gloomhaven family in one's collection? Check out my how to play and playthrough of Gloomhaven Buttons and Bugs: th-...
