Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat 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. Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn. For 1-4 Players. 60-120 minute playing time. Co-operative play Euro-inspired tactical combat.

Great D&D light, great for two players
My wife and I have been playing this. It took us watching a few videos to understand the basics and we still need to reference the rules (i.e. Google search) now and then. But that's part of playing any game really. Just jump on and play don't worry about knowing all the rules, that will come qith5 time from playing the game. During the pandemic we we're really looking for something for the two of us to play together in lieu of Dungeons & Dragons. This is a great substitute, and a great game in it's own right. My wife is playing Cragheart and I am playing Tinkerer. Not the best combo, but I would say just play what interests you, rather than going for the most efficient/strongest combo(s). We also use the reusable stickers ($10) in case we want to play through again with friends later on. Also don't forget the Gloomhaven Helper app!! Comes in handy a lot. Might want to get some kind of organizer, because it takes up a lot of space and it would help with setup.

Grand ambition in a box
Weighing in at 20lb it isn’t an understatement to say there is a lot in this box. If you like puzzles board games or dungeon crawlers this game is for you.
