## Description

Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat board game in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for travelling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make. This is a legacy game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Review: Gloomhaven is incredible. - This game is amazing. It gets under your skin, you think about it when you aren't playing it. It's an enormous amount of content that easily justifies it's price. Play unfolds fairly slowly, with it increasing substantially with more players, but it's still a game you can play a session of in an afternoon rather than needing an entire day. As a legacy game, it changes as you play, meaning you are rarely doing the same thing twice. And the core gameplay mechanics are excellent, packing strategy into every decision. There is the perfect amount of luck involved, with misses and critical hits being rare and really having an impact on the game state, but not occurring so often that you feel like you're winning or being beaten by randomness alone. The campaign is a revelation. Ever so slowly, you unlock new areas, characters, items and abilities. Your character gets better, and the game adapts by increasing it's difficulty, but in a fair way that makes the difficulty curve feel smooth. That is, after the first few missions. The second scenario in particular is brutal, and I would advise almost everybody to play it on easy unless you are already familiar with the game from playing it elsewhere. This game on easy is still hard, and I don't feel any shame in playing it that way. The mechanics of opening boxes and envelopes when you hit certain achievements, of adding stickers to show areas you've unlocked and cards you've enhanced is bizarrely satisfying. This is a game that revels in the mechanics of games, that takes inspiration from video games and DND which themselves were influenced by board games. It sits powerfully amid a crop of tabletop games that couldn't really exist at any time before now. It's not particularly easy to learn, but it's also not totally inscrutable. Honestly, if you have played a lot of video games you are going to be pretty comfortable here. I probably wouldn't try and teach this to my dad, or my 10 year old niece, but I also don't think it's totally beyond their ability to understand. Gloomhaven demands your time and attention, it's not a game you learn in 5 minutes and play in 30. It's a game that you will spend a few hours learning during your first missions, but that process is itself enjoyable as you grow to understand the way the parts fit together. It's a game I read about online, it's a game I watch videos of people playing. It has pulled me in like only DMing DnD and playing Magic the Gathering have, where the game itself is just the central point of a larger whole, where you discuss and analyze the game and try and get better. It's been a unique experience that I've loved, and I'm probably only 20% through the campaign. I don't know if I'll finish it, I may lose interest eventually, but it's been worth every penny for the time I've put in. Gloomhaven has quickly become one of a few games held up as the gold standard, and it's going to be that for a long time I expect. It seems to change what is possible for a tabletop game, and we all get to benefit from how that will influence things in the future. Basically, it's really good. Buy it maybe.
Review: An astoundingly good game — not for the faint of heart - My husband and I are continuously shocked by how obsessed we are with this game. We want to play every week, for 6+ hours a week. It is just SO GOOD. It's so interesting, and so immensely satisfying to play. There are so many levels of success, and choices to make, and adventures to go on. Truly, we have never been so addicted to a board game as we are to this one. We felt like we got our money's worth after 4 scenarios - and there's like a hundred to go! I will say, we wish the pieces were a little sturdier. One of our group of 4 had an accident spill — no biggie, it happens — but we were surprised by how immediately the pieces and cards absolutely disintegrated. It's like there's no even mildly protective coating on the cardboard. Luckily the creators are amazing, and getting replacements is a breeze. This game is definitely not for those who love quick, easy, simple games. Set up is a beast. We use a simple baggy and small container system to speed it up - pictured - but even still, picking a scenario and getting it all set up for 4 players can take a good chunk of time. Depending on how complicated the scenario is, anywhere between 5 -20 minutes. For us at least, it's usually no big deal because while one person is setting up, others can shop in the store or set up their individual character areas or grab a snack or whatever. I'm heavily debating fabricating my own chest / tackle box or sorts to contain this game, however. It just takes up a LOT of space when you want to play, to be able to spread the baggies out to easily grab what you need, set up the scenario and enemies, set up character areas, setting up the board and various decks you'll need, etc. However, the game is so incredibly worth it. So well done — so much so that while we play this version with 4 people, we bought Jaws of the Lion two weeks later because we wanted to play more often with just the two of us. And we'll definitely be getting Frosthaven when it comes out. I cannot recommend this game enough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 20lbs of game. What's not to love?!
*by D***T on December 30, 2020*

I was super hesitant to pull the trigger on Gloomhaven and boy am I glad I did. The TL;DR is this is an absolutely fantastic game and well worth the money. While it's a tough sell given the high price tag, think of it more like getting a base game plus 10 DLC with it. The developer could easily have made the base game and sold 80% of the content in here as add-ons later, but as is you're getting easily 100+ hours of fantastic gameplay. I won't go deep on the game 101, but generally this is a persistent RPG deck-builder + tactical grid combat system. Your character persists between sessions and grows as you complete more of the story throughout the campaign. It's akin to any RPG video game. The only difference between this and something like X-Com or FF Tactics, is you control a single player rather than a team or squad as you make your way through "dungeons". There's also loads of customization options for your character. Between card choice in your deck, unlock-able/findable/purchasable items and equipment, and level up choices, there's plenty to custom tailor your play. It balances player agency and style with character mechanics very well requiring you to adjust to new situations/deck choices without sacrificing your play style. The combat mechanics themselves are balanced between RNG and strategy, but even the probability of what attack modifier card you'll pick next plays into the strategy. I never felt completely betrayed or out of control with the randomness of events. My fate still felt firmly in my own hands and my demise was solely attributable to my own poor decisions. The only real flaw of the game is the shear number of pieces that come with it. While it's overly impressive how many cutouts and tokens and map tiles and whatnot come with the game, there's a real need for organized piece storage (hence why you see so many $80+ organizers out there). For those that don't want to spend that kind of scratch on something to hold pieces, I'd recommend doing what I did and using the foam packaging materials to make makeshift piece holders. It takes a bit of time, but it's easy and cheap to use a box cutter to make your own holder. Granted not everything will fit back in the box when you're done, but it'll make gameplay muchhhhh more enjoyable if you can find things easily. The only other suggestion I have is to use a companion app for battle tracking. There are fantastic ones out there (a simple Gloomhaven search will bring them up in the App Store if you're an iOS user). Dealing with multiple monster cards plus all the things you have to track between rounds would be a herculean administration task if you're using the included pieces. If you really want the full on analog experience and don't mind it, by all means, but for me the free app is a necessity to keep the game loops at a comfortable pace without sacrificing the core analog experience. If you have a friend or two that also enjoys longer campaigns and weekly sessions (think D&D or MTG), you won't be disappointed with Gloomhaven. Solo play is also great if you don't know any other cool kids that want to reserve 2-3 hours a week for game night. Guessing if you're looking at this page and reading the reviews, you should probably just pull the trigger and purchase it. No regrets.
