Aeon Trespass: Odyssey without a doubt. It’s expansive, complex, punishing, rich and has such an amazing narrative.
Heavy campaign games that tell a story are what I am all about and AT:O is the pinnacle of this for me at this point.
That said, I also enjoy Frosthaven quite a bit (Gloomhaven as well because the mechanics are sublime, but the story is definitely a weak point); Legacy of Dragonholt is basically a solo-RPG in a board game box; Sleeping Gods is simpler but nice; Tainted Grail, Etherfields and ISS Vanguard are very neat narratively especially when taking the edge off the resource grind; and finally I am looking forward to the second printing of Oathsworn to fulfill.
Oh, The Hunters A.D. 2114 has been very neat too and I’m looking forward to the new The Hunters A. D. 1492 whenever that is done.
So many great story campaign games and so little time .(especially when getting a group to commit)
I’ve been meaning to buy Frosthaven, but the problem (some would call it a feature) is that the Gloomhaven games are so massive and repayable! I still haven’t unlocked all the classes in regular Gloomhaven - and have an unopened Crimson Scales box waiting for me! Not sure when I’m ever going to get around to Frosthaven.
