The snack comment is great, nowadays because of the abundance of entertainment people would like to dip a toe in before really committing, like glancing the comic before buying it. I mention this because my brother has a couple of friends and everytime they gather they get out a boardgame. So I got them Gloomhaven as a gift an after several months they havent opened lol. And its exactly because they only need a snack game on the table so they can do their thing and enjoy with the time they have.
As someone who has tried and was quickly overwhelmed by Gloomhaven, I totally get what happened with your brother, lol. There are so many pieces and rules!
I love a small, easy-to-pick-up game, too, but I'm not convinced it's what most fantasy gamers are looking for on the whole. Gloomhaven is extremely popular because of its complexity, not in spite of it.
