Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugsis a solo play game, with an original campaign story written by Isaac Childres, that features a playstyle similar toGloomhavenin a fraction of the size.

Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugsis set after the events ofGloomhavenandForgotten Circles. The Aesther recluse Hail has earned a reputation for being highly instrumental in saving the city from recurring disasters, and she absolutely hates it. Wannabe heroes are constantly barging in on her studies at the Crooked Bone, looking for help in becoming famous themselves not to mention all the demons that come by looking for vengeance. She briefly considered moving, but as that would require effort, she instead just placed an enchantment on her front door: Anyone who attempts to open it becomes miniaturized and therefore is no longer a problem.

Your character is one such wannabe hero. In an ill-advised attempt at fame, they try to visit Hail, and poof. Now they’re the size of a mouse and have entered an entirely different realm of lawlessness and self-preservation. They must find a new way into the Crooked Bone to convince Hail to return them to their previous size.

Each scenario is a single card, pitting one mercenary against a handful of enemies with simplified actions and AI. Each mercenary has a hand of just four double-sided cards, but they can be used twice both the front and the back before they are discarded. Attacks are resolved using a die in conjunction with a modifier table, and both the table and the mercenary ability cards can be improved as you level up throughout the campaign.

Gloomhaven and its mercenaries get shrunk down in this unique stand-alone, single-player adventure!

In the aftermath of recent events, reclusive aesther Hail, celebrated for saving the city multiple times, detests her newfound reputation. Intruding wannabe heroes and vengeful demons endlessly disrupt her studies at the Crooked Bone.

Rather than moving, she decides to enchant her door, shrinking those who open it. Enter your character, an aspiring hero who falls victim to this enchantment. Now miniature in a lawless realm, they must find another way into the Crooked Bone and persuade Hail to reverse their diminutive state.

Buttons & Bugs gives you the same deep strategy combat of Gloomhaven but in a fraction of the size. It’s compact footprint and streamline system means you can setup and play a scenario in under 20 minutes, and it fits on your coffee table or even an airplane tray table!
