Overview
Gloomhaven is a cooperative dungeon-crawling adventure set in a persistent, evolving world. Players take on the roles of mercenaries with their own personal goals, working together to complete scenarios filled with dangerous monsters and challenging obstacles. Each scenario is driven by a branching narrative, leading to new quests, locations, and characters.
At the heart of the game is an innovative card-based combat system. Players simultaneously select two ability cards each round, programming their actions for the turn. These cards dictate movement, attacks, and special abilities. Teamwork and strategic card play are crucial to overcoming the game's tactical combat encounters. The modular board and variable player powers ensure a unique and engaging experience every time you play.
