Gloomhaven - Jaws of the Lion

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a fully stand-alone and cooperative campaign game of tactical combat, set in the same unique and gritty fantasy world as its predecessor, the original Gloomhaven. This title serves as both a perfect entry point for those new to the franchise and a deep expansion for veteran players. You will assume the roles of four new hardened mercenaries, each with their own unique abilities and tactical roles, as you work together to survive a dark prequel campaign filled with difficult choices, daunting challenges, and unexpected narrative twists.

The game has been meticulously designed to lower the barrier to entry without sacrificing the strategic depth that made the series famous. New built-in tutorials and a comprehensive learn-to-play guide walk you through the mechanics step-by-step during the first few missions. Furthermore, the innovative play-surface scenario books mean you no longer have to spend time assembling complex modular map tiles; the artwork and grids are printed directly in the book, allowing you to jump into the action more quickly and easily than ever before.

Whether you choose to play through the campaign as a stand-alone experience or use the included characters and items as an expansion for the original Gloomhaven game, Jaws of the Lion offers an incredible amount of content. The card-driven combat system remains as rewarding as ever, requiring careful management of your hand and perfect synergy with your teammates. From the backstreets of the city to the darkest corners of the world, your choices will determine the fate of the Jaws of the Lion mercenary troupe.
