I would not recommend diving in until you have some form of order and control over the set up! This helps to keep this monstrosity organized and much easier for setup and breakdown. It ran me about $20.00, is made up of 4 plano boxes, a 12 slot accordion binder for the map tiles and a bunch of labeled plastic baggies. found at Y.A.S.S (Yet Another Storage Solution) | BoardGameGeek. (Yet Another Storage Solution) by Ryan H. Because I’m cheap, my personal favorite is the Y.A.S.S. There are a number of different inserts for the game available, that can cost as much as 2-3 new games. I will warn you, don’t break this out until you’ve looked at some of the storage solution options out there. Gloomhaven offers 34 new monster types, and 13 Boss monsters with close to 240 high quality monster standees! There’s over 1500 cards in the box. The game comes with 17 playable character miniatures. Not the best I’ve seen, but certainly good quality and each distinct and able to tell who’s who on the board. This is a huge amount of game in a big, big box. That’s pretty much how a turn is played.ĬOMPONENTS: The box comes with 22lbs of cardboard, plastic and cards. Everyone reveals their cards at the same time, then monster cards are flipped (these cards also have an initiative value) and you play in order of initiative. The cards have initiative values on them. You choose one top from one card and the bottom from the other. Each card has a top ability and a bottom ability on the card. Each round you choose 2 cards and play them. They just get tired and hopefully your companions are able to complete the scenario while dragging your passed out sorry butt with them. If you run out of cards, you exhaust and you’re out of the game for that round. You start with a hand of cards, which act as your character’s stamina and abilities. On your turn, you choose 2 cards from your hand and play the top ability from one and the bottom ability from another. The main gameplay in each dungeon is fairly straight forward: There are a few cards that have the same wording on them but different outcomes to your choices, and I would have liked to see the wording slightly different on the cards so your party isn’t sitting there thinking they’re experiencing deja’vu. The front of the card offers a scenario and the backside of the card has the reward or consequences of that decision. These cards have a little flavor text on them and offer the party a choice that will occasionally reward or punish them depending on the decisions that are made. On the road heading towards the chosen adventure. Gloomhaven as you are about to leave the city prior to an adventure, or b. There’s a City Event Deck and a Road Event Deck that take place in either a. There are a lot of things that happen outside your main adventures. How does a party best utilize their characters and their resources without getting exhausted and losing the level? There’s hand management, strategy, and each dungeon along the way offers a puzzle. That being said, this is not a stereotypical dice-chucking dungeon crawl where you simply run through and kill as many bad guys as you can. Then new characters are unlocked with new abilities which allows players a variety of gameplay throughout the campaign. Each character starts the campaign with a goal and once they achieve that goal, that character retires. Players form an adventuring party that work together to overcome a variety of dungeons, defeat monsters, slay the big bads and get loot. The game takes place in the city of Gloomhaven and its surrounding lands. Gloomhaven is a Legacy cooperative adventure/ dungeon crawler/ tactical card combat with some Euro flair thrown in.
