Description
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 should work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process they’ll give a boost to 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 can be a legacy game with a persistent and changing world that may be ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, so one can resolve how the story continues, roughly like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters the use of an innovative card system to resolve the order of play and what a player does on their turn.

Every turn a player will play two cards out of their hand. Each card has a number in the center, and the number on the first card played will resolve their initiative order. Each card also has a top and bottom power, and when this is a player’s turn in the initiative order, they resolve whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other, or vice-versa
