Finally played Gloomhaven after years of hearing about it...

Compared Gloomhaven to my usual go-to of Pandemic Legacy and Gloomhaven's legacy system felt way more rewarding after 10 scenarios because the choices actually changed the map and not just the story.

And I can't even keep my campaign organized enough to remember which stickers go where without a cheat sheet.

Saw a DM screen where someone had an entire color coded spreadsheet.

Ugh right?! But hold up, the comparison is a bit off. Gloomhaven's not really a legacy game in the same way Pandemic Legacy is. It's more of a campaign game with permanent changes. You don't have to rip up cards or permanently destroy components. It's more like you're unlocking stuff and sticking stickers down, but you can actually reset it with removable sticker sets or an app if you want to replay it. Still, it's super rewarding when you finally crack open that new box or find a hidden room on the map.
