After strong early reviews, a second Kickstarter campaign was launched on April 4, 2017, and delivered in November 2017 which raised about $4 million from over 40,000 backers.
The game was originally sold via a 2015 Kickstarter campaign which raised $386,104 from 4,904 backers. Randomization is not provided by dice, as is usually the case with such games, but is handled by a deck of cards. Players simultaneously choose two cards to play each turn, each of which has a top and a bottom half, and choose the top half of one card and the bottom of the other to allow their characters to take actions such as moving, healing and attacking monsters. Ĭharacters and monsters move about on hex tiles representing dungeons and cellars. While it has drawn comparisons to role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and other dungeon crawl board games, Gloomhaven uses game mechanics similar to modern eurogames. The campaign develops in a legacy format, with stickers that are placed on the board and cards and sealed envelopes that are opened when certain criteria are met.
The game is cooperative and campaign driven, with one to four players working their way through a branching story consisting of 95 scenarios. Gloomhaven is a fantasy-themed, campaign-based tactical skirmish game, in which players try to triumph in combat-based scenarios which scale in difficulty depending on the number of players.
