#AMAZON GLOOMHAVEN FULL#

Unfortunately missed out on the Kickstarters ($80 with postage included from America) for this and have had to wait absolute ages for europe supplier option to make this even close to affordable but I am over the preverbial moon with this purchase. In this box, players will find a fully realised fantasy campaign experience of unparalleled scope and depth. Gloomhaven offers streamlined tactical combat without dice against fully automated enemies, each with their own unique behaviour patterns. Each scenario offers players deep tactical decisions, where ability cards have multiple uses, and using the right ability at the right time can mean the difference between success and failure.

Together, players will fight through a campaign of scenarios that reacts and changes based on the player's actions, creating a unique game state full of discovered treasure, retired adventurers and permanent choices. Each player will assume the role of a hardened mercenary with their own personal motives. Gloomhaven is a cooperative game of tactical combat in a unique, evolving fantasy world. Just don't expect anyone to pay for your services up-front, because no one expects you to come back alive. For those stupid or brave enough to leave the relative safety of Gloomhaven's walls, adventure, wealth, and fame await in wild and shadowy forests, snowy mountain caves, and long-forgotten crypts. It's the thing all good tabletop adaptations should have: A reason why I'd play this rather than sit around a table.Being a mercenary on the edge of civilisation is anything but easy. If you feast on this kind of tactical play like I do, and if you're very happy to let the computer handle the little details, then Gloomhaven's ruggedly narrated adventures are exactly what you want from the genre. Four hours in the digital campaign will let quick players plow through as many as three dungeons.

Four hours at the table will get you a single dungeon, with its encounters before and after, played. Nonetheless, the campaign is a blast with friends and far faster than a boxed game.

It's absolutely bizarre that I had to consult the tabletop rulebook to be sure I understood mechanics: When is my character's combat deck shuffled? What does that little flippy arrow mean? None of this is clear. Misunderstanding the rules can be extremely frustrating, and there's no comprehensive rulebook in the menus. What should be easy-to-fix mistakes like moving one hex off, selecting the wrong ability, or misclicking to pass on an ability are impossible to take back.

If that doesn't sound like enough, there are 17 playable classes with their own unique mechanics and decks of cards.īafflingly, Gloomhaven doesn't have an undo button. A single misplayed card can set you on the path to doom in some scenarios: burning a powerful ability early might feel good, but what if that's the power you needed to grab the loot or knock out the last few enemies fast enough? It's some of the best tactical play in gaming, and some of the most delightfully difficult choices you'll ever make in a dungeon crawler. Missions are hard, and even the easy difficulty can and will beat tactics veterans into a pulp. These fairly simple rules make fights into a slew of tough tactical choices and tight time limits.
