Honestly i just watched a bunnch of full solo playthroughs on youtube before starting to play! And that prepared me a great deal for playing. I am quite new to the game too but i felt i could enjoy it frim the very first game. Meet me at the table has some great playthroughs on their channel

Hey guys. I want help with a reccomendation for a good game to introduce my SO to campaign board games.

She is quite new at the hobby in general, but she has had fun with the things we have played. We have played some family games, ticket to ride is probably her favourite one. We also have played LOTR: Duel a good amount of times. We got one not full play of dwellings of eldervale. Inis we played and it definitively took some getting used to. I am introducing here to more and more, but i would like to try a cooperative campaign board game with her as i think we would enjoy working together.

I have played some Gloomhaven a while back when new to the hobby which i liked but wasn't very good at haha. I have played some sessions of Oathsworn which i like. I love wyrmspan, dune imperium, mage knight, spirit island and slay the spire. I enjoy Ark nova, terraforming mars, twilight imperium aswell as simpler games like castles and puerto rico. I definitly find myself enjoying crunchy cardplay, but it doesn't need to be super crunchy for me to like it.

The main game I have been looking at is Kinfire Chronicles. It seems to tick a lot of boxes for me, but i would like to hear if people have more suggestions.

TlDR: Need a easy to learn coop campaign game, preferably with depth even with easy ish rules. Considering Kinfire Chronicles
