Frosthaven Review

Frosthaven and to a lesser extent Gloomhaven are, in my opinion, some of the greatest board games ever made. Given the reputation of the Haven games and their board game geek rankings, that might not surprise you, but it certainly surprises me. It surprises me because there are a ton of core aspects contained in games like Frosthaven that completely rub me the wrong way. To the extent that I think they completely spit on some of board gaming's fundamental values.
