I agree. If I click on a game and see that is has some kind of "cards" mechanic I'm skipping it 99.9% of the time. Nothing against people who like card / board games but I just think its not an interesting use of the medium most of the time.
That's because gloomhaven is literally a board game. Your dad literally gave you an electronic copy of one of the most popular physical board games of all time.
electronic versions of physical board games have become extremely popular over the past couple years. but yes, in most cases, it's literally just digitizing the physical board game, and that's what the target audience for those games wants
Magic the Gathering really did a number on the gaming scene. Lots of people won't play a game with no cards. If there are no cards in it, it's not like MtG (or Pokemon, or Yugioh). Therefore it must suck.
