take it back and buy Kingdom Death Monster instead. Fuck that. I'd much rather have Gloomhaven, especially considering its significantly cheaper and easier to get people playing. Plus Gloomhavens box is heavier XD ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've played it a few times, currently playing a Scoundrel. It's pretty neat, but tearing up cards still freaks me out.

You don't have to but yeah you can tear them up if they have the symbol on them since they are otherwise removed from the game forever.

The host of the game insisted on tearing them so we do. lol, they are his main hobby and he has a ton of them. This is a pretty unique feature that not many board games have. They're generally referred to as "Legacy" games which are games meant to be played over many, many sessions. Since the cards have no use beyond their initial one, some people like to destroy and throw them away. --- The Legend is True! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Game store manager here.
I was lucky enough to get 20 Gloomhavens (most local stores got less than 10 in the US). Those were just enough to fill our pre-orders back in June O____o But everyone's been loving it, and coincidentally I designed a card combat like system similar to Gloomhaven a while ago, and I'm glad someone had the same vision I had! Enjoy, and I wish you best in actually finishing it XD ... Copied to Clipboard!

A friend of mine literally bought it for himself just this past Christmas but it makes sense if the "release date" was because availability was limited. Like, movies will have release dates on Saturday but you can almost always see the movie on friday and if it's a big enough release some places will have it showing on thursday, but the release date is still Saturday. --- ...

For people who don't want to have to sift through books and books of rules for stupid shit or deal with finicky DMs, the game streamlines the dungoneering process and removes most of the roleplaying aspects so that it's more of a straight up board game. --- ...

The box is massive. Here it is sitting on top of all my other board games. Note that this is the side of the box, it's sitting just like all the other board games. It's as tall as it is fat.
ChromaticAngel posted... Drpooplol posted...What kind of game is it. Tell me so i can be lazy and not do any research myself I wouldn't call it a dumbed down D&D. I would say Descent is much more like a dumbed down D&D. Gloomhaven is D&D thematically, that's for sure, but it plays more like a hybrid of Euro games and thematic games. The combat is more like a puzzle. You don't throw dice and do stat checks. You manage your card hand and figure out the best plays to make. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
