Gloomhaven, the colossus of board games, has a small version called Buttons & Bugs. It will now receive its first expansion, Pub Crawlers, in September. It includes two new character classes, an adventure with 17 scenarios, and more enemies. Its price is $17.99, an accessible and portable entertainment option for playing in under 20 minutes.
Tactical expansion with compact design and more enemies 🎲
Pub Crawlers adds two character classes that modify the available strategies. The 17 scenarios integrate into Buttons & Bugs' reduced rule system, maintaining the tactical depth of the original in a pocket-sized format. The new enemies force you to rethink tactics, all within a box that fits in a backpack. The average game does not exceed 20 minutes, ideal for breaks or trips.
Now you can waste time at the bar in style 🍻
Finally, a legitimate reason to ignore your friends at the pub: challenge them to a game of Buttons & Bugs. The Pub Crawlers expansion lets you pretend you're doing something productive while moving pieces and defeating monsters. Anyway, since you paid 18 dollars, at least the beer can wait. But don't blame the game if the bartender gives you a strange look.
