![]() ![]() The first couple of scenarios can be tough! I highly recommend setting the difficulty to easy (scenario level 0) to start off with.The game box is HILARIOUSLY BIG AND HEAVY, coming in at upwards of 10kg! So uh, be warned if you have a bad back, or something.Notes for Newbies & FAQ (I'll keep this updated!) As your character levels up, new cards become available to add to your deck which usually strengthens further the theme of your character - for example, the earth-based Cragheart gains new the potential to pick up nearby rocks and throw them at their enemies, or explode rocks to damage all the enemies around it and other fun ways to manipulate the obstacles dotted around the dungeon.Īvailable to all players at the start are the squishy but speedy and dangeous psychic Mindthief, the no-nonsense damage dealer Brute, the nimble rogue Scoundrel, strategic spellcaster Spellweaver, rock-smashing Cragheart, and clockwork ally-summoning support Tinkerer. Six are available at the start, with the remaining characters kept locked away in tantalising sealed boxes, only opened when you unlock them through the campaign - usually through a character realising their personal goal, but there are a couple of exceptions. The game comes with 17 characters, each with their own unique look, feel and gameplay style, though they will often have roots in the traditional styles of offence, tank and support familiar to RPG players. If your next dungeon is not connected directly to Gloomhaven, a randomly drawn road event card can be played much like the city cards, but be warned - they are usually more risky than the city events.Depending on your choice, the consequences could be rewarding - or punishing. A randomly drawn city card tells a small narrative to flesh out the geography and dwellers of Gloomhaven, giving you two choices on how you would like to react to the situation at hand.As the prosperity of Gloomhaven increases over your campaign, more items become available to the party. The shop is available to purchase weapons, gear and other items to help you in your quest.For characters who gained enough XP during the last scenario, you can level up your character, unlocking new tiers of cards to add to your deck and giving you new perks to help swing the odds in your favour during tight battles.Newcomers can create a new character, giving them a name and a personal quest, which can be shared with the party, and create their own deck from the choices given.The party can do a few things while preparing for adventure in the often unwelcoming and corrupt inns, markets and back alleys of Gloomhaven: Even for a regular game group, Gloomhaven will take a year+ to complete, making it amazing value for money given the price tag of around $140/£120 - that said, it can occasionally be found for cheaper. 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. This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions, covering 99 scenarios! 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. 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 fuelled by the decisions they make. ![]() Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. 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. The #1 all-time rated game on Board Game Geek started off popular and has only been getting more popular with time, and with it now being in more hands over Christmas and with upcoming expansions and sequels, I think it's time this community had its own thread! ![]()
