Gloomhaven Second Edition Review

Description provided by GideonsGaming on YouTube:

It's difficult to find the words to describe how I feel about Gloomhaven 2e. I played and loved the original, but I never reviewed it. I did, however, review Jaws of the Lion and Frosthaven, and the thing is, most of my praises and complaints about those games could be applied to Gloomhaven 2e verbatim, and I'm not a fan of repeating myself. I guess I should start with this. Is Gloomhaven 2e an improvement over the original? Yes, oh my yes. It's such an improvement that it makes the original Gloomhaven look like complete trash by comparison. Cephlaofair took the improvements from Frosthaven, as well as everything they learned about designing it, and then rebuilt Gloomhaven with it.
