The 10 Most Complex Board Games (gamerant.com)

Which one of these have you tried? At what point should it just be a computer game?

Personally, most complex game I tried is Ark Nova which did not even make it on this list.

Even some simpler games can have a lot of dependencies that make playing tedious like Hogwarts Battle

I've played Gloomhaven and Frosthaven (not on the list, but a bit more complex) and they are brilliant games. They take a long while to set up so we basically went out and bought a separate table - now we have a Frosthaven table.

I know there are some computer renditions of Gloomhaven, but honestly, it doesn't have the same appeal to me. Part of the fun is painting the minis and actually touching the game.

For Gloomhaven, I had to put it away after each session because cats.

Since then, I've moved and I now have a dedicated board game room that cats are not allowed in. So Frosthaven gets to stay out. It's very nice.

Oh wow, a dedicated table for the game! Sound like you need a boardgame table that has two layers :)

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's spot on. Our table has one layer and a couple of drawers but it's still not enough. Still have to put away some stuff between sessions, but significantly less :D

Future plans involve something the size of a pool table, like Wil Wheaton had on Tabletop. That should suffice, I think. Maybe...
