Description:
Gloomhaven offers Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent, dynamic world where adventurers with unique skills delve into menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. Players collaborate to clear these challenges, gaining experience and loot while shaping the evolving story through their choices.
 
It's a game best enjoyed across multiple sessions, where decisions influence the narrative, reminiscent of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book. Each scenario is a cooperative battle against automated foes, utilizing an innovative card system to dictate actions.
 
Players strategically select two cards per turn, determining initiative and balancing top and bottom powers. However, prolonged expeditions lead to permanent card losses, risking exhaustion and retreat if dungeons aren't cleared efficiently.
