Art by Alexandr Elichev, Josh T McDowell, and Alvaro Nebot captures the Gloomhaven universe with colorful detail, and the game has quickly become a standout on BoardGameGeek. Buttons & Bugs keeps the heart of Gloomhaven through tactical combat, dungeon crawler exploration, card driven combat, hand management, grid movement, hex movement, and scenario based missions. The four card hand and ability cards create a tight combat puzzle where every move matters. Attack modifier results, the attack modifier table, icon dice, dice rolling, initiative order, monster AI, and enemy AI all combine into puzzle combat that feels strategic while staying fast. It’s a miniature board game with micro miniatures and mercenary miniatures that feels great on the table and works beautifully as a travel board game or coffee table game. The story follows miniaturized heroes and mouse sized heroes through the Gloomhaven lore as familiar mercenary classes like Brute, Spellweaver, Tinkerer, Scoundrel, Cragheart, and Mindthief battle monsters in quick but challenging encounters. Characters like Hail and Crooked Bone help Buttons & Bugs feel deeply connected to the larger fantasy campaign of Gloomhaven while still standing on its own. Scenario cards, monster stat cards, status tokens, hp dials, cubes and tokens keep setup clean, making it a true fast setup board game and quick play board game. That’s part of why Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs has become popular for board game tutorial videos, tabletop gaming channels, board game youtube creators, and even board game speedrun content.
