Well, with Munchkin, you still had five cards in your hand and at *least* five on the table to add up, not to mention that stack of “who played what when” cards when someone first tries to win the game. With Gloomhaven, you could have ten cards, each with a top and bottom half, giving you *twenty* modifiers to keep track of.

Also, it looks like the second gameplay video uses 20 build points and five armor points? I thought your first games should only have ten build points. IIRC, You only care about one side’s weapons and armor, so you’re only adding modifiers for the cards on one side. Pretty interesting how they use the driving template with the car bases.

Custom dice drive me bonkers, though, since I’d like to know my most likely roll before I move.

BTW, The KS has playmats and tiles for 1/64 scale cars. These can be used in Gaslands and other games. You can also make tiles from kid’s road tape (?) for Hot Wheels.

EDIT: Cybermonday deal includes 3×3 playmat, twelve road tiles, miniature expansions, weapon expansions… essentially half off.
