Forgotten Circles

Depends on your group

Our take
Worth it only for a group that finished the campaign and wants a harder, rules-heavy follow-up. A BGG thread and a Reddit thread (r/Gloomhaven) both report scenarios feeling tedious with many special rules, while another BGG poster's group enjoyed it. The designer says it runs above the curve and is only loosely compatible with 2nd Edition.
What you need first
Just the base game
What it adds
20 post-campaign scenarios, the Aesther Diviner class, 7 monster types (3 bosses) and 14 items.
