Game Description

Get ready to dive into the universe of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, a captivating standalone board game that serves as a prequel to the epic Gloomhaven saga. Designed for 1-4 players and with an average duration of 120 minutes, this 2020 title published by Cephalofair Games plunges you directly into the action. Discover four new, unique characters, each with distinctive abilities: the Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), the Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), the Human Voidwarden (support, mind control), and the Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation). These heroes can also be integrated and used in the original Gloomhaven game, expanding your strategic possibilities.

Your adventure will unfold through an engaging campaign comprising no less than 25 scenarios, which will lead you to investigate mysterious disappearances within the city. Is it the work of the Vermlings, or is something far more sinister happening in the shadows? You will face unique and formidable monsters, with 16 different types of creatures, including seven new standard monsters and three new, fearsome bosses that will test your tactical and teamwork skills.

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion has been carefully designed to be more easy to learn and accessible, making it perfect even for newcomers to the genre. Forget the complex cardboard map tiles: now you will play directly on the integrated scenario book, which boasts new unique illustrations for each setting, significantly simplifying setup. The barrier to entry has been further lowered thanks to a set of simplified rules and a five-scenario guided tutorial, which will guide you step-by-step through the game experience, allowing you to quickly immerse yourself in the fun and strategy.
