Demands too much

After the streamlining for JotL, I was hoping for Frosthaven to be a bit easier to get to the table and work through the 120+ scenarios. This is the opposite - a step clearly further towards players who can laser-focus on one game and play it multiple times a week on a regular basis without distraction using a dedicated space.

While I enjoy the gameplay, I find the scenarios, from the first onward, to be too long. Having a characters like Bannerspear requiring precise placement but then discouraging collaboration in planning just seems artificially frustrating. Likewise with the puzzles and town phases - scarcity and wonky logic plus randomness makes this add unnecessary need to replay an already too-long game.

I knew I will never see all of the scenarios when I backed this on Kickstarter but after digging into the game I now doubt I will ever get through a fraction of the content. It just demands too much of my time, and after I put my kids to bed I will reach for something that takes less time to set up and that I can finish in one night.

And that is why it gets a 3/5 - my partner and I need to have enough time, energy, and focus to get this to the table, which is a rare thing with such a demanding game.

Box was damaged on shipping

As title said box was pretty beat up when it got to me. Don’t know if that was from shipping or not
