Gloomhaven Second Edition (First Printing)

Description

Welcome to Gloomhaven (2nd Edition)

Gloomhaven is a cooperative game of epic adventure, pitting a group of mercenaries against all manner of automated monsters in scenarios across a far-reaching and ever-evolving campaign world. Players will buy equipment, level-up, and eventually retire in this expansive game of tactic combat with Euro-insired card play.

Gloomhaven: Second Edition is a revised and elevated version of the award-winning core game of Gloomhaven. This is the culmination of everything Isaac Childres and the growing Cephalofair Games team have learned since the initial release of Gloomhaven, including feedback from the community, playtesters, co-designers, and developers. The world, story, and challenging gameplay are all still the same, but there is a plethora of additional content to explore. Even for those who have played Gloomhaven before, this edition brings new material to the table, with rebalanced and redesigned mercenary classes, items, and scenarios, as well as brand new artwork, newly written narrative and events, updated miniatures, a new faction-based reputation system, and more.

In Gloomhaven players will take on the role of a wandering mercenary with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for traveling to this remote 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 persistent game that is intended to be 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.

Gloomhaven: Second Edition includes:
• 101 Scenarios
• 18 Playable Classes
• Over 1800 cards
• 50 Different Enemy Types
