New Gloomhaven board game is basically Honey, I Shrunk the Kids with swords

Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs box on a table, with the components laid out

Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs has been revealed by surprise as the next RPG adventure in the series, but unlike its typically massive siblings, this one is much smaller - both literally and figuratively.

In real-world terms, that's because its missions can be completed in less than 20 minutes or during "a half-hour lunch break," according to the press release. Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs also offers a "sleek setup" to go with a total weight of 1lb. That makes quite a difference to the back-breaking 20lbs or so of Gloomhaven and Frosthaven; despite being some of the best board games if you love fantasy dungeon-crawlers, they're murder to carry around. (If you get either of the latter in the upcoming Prime Day board game deals, bear that in mind when picking them up off your doorstep once they're delivered - trust us, your back will thank you.)
