Cephalofair Games • 2017
A tactical combat campaign game set in a persistent fantasy world. Players take on roles of wandering mercenaries with unique abilities and secret personal quests. Battles are driven by a dual-card initiative system that requires strategic hand management without random dice rolls. As the campaign unfolds, players unlock new characters, explore branching storylines, and make permanent world changes. Gloomhaven is one of the highest-rated board games in history. Rather than rolling dice for attack damage, players select two cards from their hand each round—using the top action of one card and the bottom action of the other. Managing your hand of cards is vital, as discarded cards are lost permanently when resting. Plays 1 to 4 players in scenarios lasting 60 to 120 minutes. With dozens of scenarios, miniature monsters, and hidden secret envelopes, Gloomhaven is an epic fantasy campaign experience that offers hundreds of hours of immersive tactical gameplay.
