As someone who never played the board game, my brother (who regularly buys Eurogames and has us play them over the holidays) had gotten this and recommended I try the PC version. I was all like nah looks weird. Then I watched someone play on Twitch for a whole 20 minutes and was like fuck, this is amazing. Now I am balls deep in this. 6 or 7 scenarios completed, just playing by myself for the time being with 3 (Mindthief, Spellweaver, Cragheart). Game is hard and fun. Spell/Crag just hit 5, haven't gotten any retirements yet. I think I may have been a bit ambition choosing Spellweaver as my "main" as I didn't quite understand that everything was on a timer due to Burn and failed the first scenario 4 times before I figured out card management and didn't do silly shit like burn cards to block damage.
Great fun, and way cheaper and easier to play when I have small children, and can't spend hours board gaming but once a year.
