Description

Introduction:

Welcome to Gloomhaven.

On the outskirts of civilization, Gloomhaven faces many threats, both from the outside and within. From merchants fighting with military over control of the city, to a multitude of crypts and temples in the wilderness just waiting to be explored, to whispers of a mysterious Gloom lurking in the dark, Gloomhaven will provide plenty of work for a mercenary such as yourself. Just don't expect anyone to pay for your services up-front, because no on expects you to come back alive.

Gloomhaven is a cooperative campaign game of tactical combat and branching narratives in a unique fantasy world. You will take your party of hardened mercenaries through a vast series of scenarios offering deep game play without dice against fully automated enemies. In doing so, you will shift the balance of power in the city and carefully navigate the graces of its three major factions. Inevitably, your mercenaries will retire, and you will continue the adventure by selecting new characters from the 18 different classes available. With peace in the city resting on a precarious knife's edge, anything can happen in Gloomhaven.

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.

Features:

Gloomhaven is a series of tactical combat scenarios that are strung together in a persistent, thematic campaign.

Each scenario is played out through rounds of combat against fully automated enemies. In each round, players will play 2 cards from their hand of ability cards which determine the order in which they act and what abilities they perform. Each card has 2 special actions, and on their turn, players can play the top action of one card and the bottom action of the other.

Card actions are varied and powerful, cutting through the monotony of a basic "move and attack" system. Default actions are available, though, if a player's plans get ruined by an enemy's ability card or even by the actions of their own teammates. Gloomhaven eliminates the alpha player through simultaneous hidden action selection to illustrate the chaos of battle.

There are also no dice in Gloomhaven. Instead, attacks are modified by a player's attack deck. Over time this attack deck will change as a player begins to add and remove cards by completing battle goals and leveling up.

Players gain the experience needed to level up by performing certain actions in their ability card deck. Through leveling up, players will also get access to more powerful, higher level ability cards which they can use to customize their deck.

In midst of battle, players will also need to focus on looting money tokens. These can be used to purchase powerful items in town, where new stock is always being unlocked by player actions.

One way to unlock items is to increase the prosperity of the town, which players can do by completing scenarios and making decisions during events between scenarios. Players will also have to manage their reputation during these events, as reputation will influence the outcome of some events and also affect shop prices.

As players interact with the town and move along the branching story paths of the world, they will always be working towards completing career goals. By meeting certain objectives, a player's character will retire, unlocking a new character class to play with, new events for parties to encounter and additional perks for the achieving player. After retirement, a player will create a new character, possibly from the class that was just unlocked, and continue the adventure!
