Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat board game in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for travelling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make. This is a legacy game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Long Story short: This game is absolutely wonderful! This (according to many board game review sites) is set to be the top game of 2017, and I 100% recommend getting yourself a copy, though it will likely be difficult/take some time. Its definitely a HOT selling item and I was lucky enough to pre-order mine a month ago before other folks started seeing it listed on Amazon. This is definitely worth getting and will make a huge hit to your gaming nights! A more detailed breakdown is below. (Note relating to pictures: The game does NOT come with painted miniatures

This game is absolutely wonderful!

 You can then upgrade to the full GH experience later and can bring the classes across so its literally win win. One massive downside to GH is the organisation, the 3rd party inserts are a godsend but can cost almost as much as the base game.

Some friends and I split $25/each and bought my sister Gloomhaven as a Christmas gift - on my suggestion. I bought it from our local shop today and the size &amp; weight immediately had me worried... because **a primary reason we were buying her a new boardgame is that she has a hard time getting people to play Dead of Winter with her (a game she** ***really*** **likes).**

I have no clue where I got this idea, but I thought Gloomhaven would be something she could more easily get people to play. Anyway, I have since learned the error of my ways.

I felt pretty confident that she would at least really like the game and could find a regular player in me (we live together) and at least one other friend. So I've been thinking about doing all the setup/organization for her beforehand... but if I do this, there is no turning back. I can't return the game. And I'm starting to doubt how much she'll like it... I may also be panicking...

I did buy another game for her that's half the price, with much easier setup and simpler rules, just so she has *options...*

**TL;DR - I split Gloomhaven as a Christmas gift. Should I open it up and start the setup/organization process, voiding my ability to return it? Or should I just return it? Did I buy my sister a burden?**

Some additional gaming background on my sister:

* She enjoys DnD a lot. We played regularly for 4 years until I had to quit DMing after going back to school
* She really likes Dead of Winter for it's Co-Op gameplay, Narrative Choice mechanics, Variable Player Powers, and tense *moments*
* Dead of Winter is the only medium weight board game she owns
* The next heaviest is Betrayal at House on the Hill
* Root is a medium weight game she has also really enjoyed
* She seems to really like boardgames and seems to want to delve deeper into the hobby, but hasn't yet
* BANG!, Coup, Pit, Catan, Ticket to Ride, Secret Hitler, and Fake Artist Goes to New York are all games she's liked and enjoyed, but they're all light weight and don't scratch the same itch
* We've gifted her expansions for DoW and Betrayal in the past. We want to buy her a new, medium weight game

<div class="md">FINAL EDIT: In case anyone was curious how my foolish saga ended - We ended up swapping Gloomhaven for JotL and Mansions of Madness instead. I think she is going to be MUCH happier with these lol thanks again for all the help! And big shoutout to my local shop who were super nice and helpful while I tried correcting this blunder ╰(´︶`)╯♡

(I&#39;m not naming the shop because I don&#39;t wanna doxx myself lol)

EDIT: I have learned my lesson and will do more research before buying very hobby specific gifts for a hobby I&#39;m not involved in 🥲 I&#39;m going to talk to my friends about returning it get to get JotL and another game instead, or getting a different, pricier game that better suits what we&#39;re aiming for. Thank you everyone who helped me with this!

Bought Gloomhaven as a gift - Return it or start organizing?

Easy to follow rules on how to play and my jr. high high and high school kids can not stop playing it with me.

Amazing game you must get!

 Using the analog system included in the box is manageable in the early days, but as the game develops this becomes a literal accounting nightmare.  This is not the kind of game you can just pull off the shelf and have a good go at it with uninitiated friends. Expect a newcomer to need a good six hours of exposure at least to come to grips with the genius of this game and begin to truly enjoy themselves.  In short, a gamer (or group) needs to approach Gloomhaven as a hobby with all the commitment a hobby entails to get the most out of this experience

Incredible experience, with additional purchases required.

 You then use the top action on one card, and the bottom action on the other. These are then placed in a discard pile and the cycle continues. Once you are unable to play a pair of cards on your turn, you’ll have to rest to get them back. However, upon resting you’ll be forced to [b]burn[/b] a card, which makes it unavailable for the rest of the scenario

 It takes some time to become accustomed to your new recruit before you realise their full potential. So, what do you say to a bit of good old-fashioned dungeon delving?

 Like any game, the introduction of the concepts precedes the details of the rules. But, in this case, the rules of game play leave out important details and require cross referencing with other parts of the rule book in 1 to 2 other spots to fully grasp what is going on. Fortunately, an online search engine allows quick answers to vague gameplay concepts.  Second, as mentioned above, some of the concepts need more explanation than the rules provide

Bower's Game Corner

 You and 2 to 5 of your friends will play the crew of the Galactica, as well as some of the bigger players on the fleet and must do whatever you can to protect the civilian ships, keep the Galactica up and running and deal with. Whatever crises happen. To come our way, one every turn. In fact, if any one of our four big resources goes down to zero, we lose if the Cylons managed to board the Galactica and take it over

 So that's a round of Battlestar Galactica and a short one at that, and yet look at all the horrible things that have happened so far and the horrible state were in plus we've literally made no progress. Now not every round will be like this, but really it's not all that in common okay, so jumping eventually, as you play, you'll come across more and more jump symbols, each one pushing the tracker along until we get to here then one more after that pushes us To auto jump where we bring the tracker back to the start, all of the Cylon and civilian ships are cleared from the board and put back where they go. The Vipers go back to the reserves and the players in the Vipers go to the hangar deck and the fleet finally jumps away to a new destination, but which one, the Admiral, whoever that maybe draws two cards from the destination deck and picks which one to go To each one of these will have some sort of cost associated with it in the text here usually losing some fuel, as well as this symbol at the bottom, a planet with some number in it, one two three, this number represents the distance were traveling. So let's say we have these two cards, the Admiral picks

 So we add the values of all these skill cards and remember in this particular instance, purples and blues are positive, while yellows greens and reds are negative and it's a failure, which means not only do we lose one population, but the drum tracker goes back one space. All the progress we made so far was all for nothing get used to that. So now we move on to the bottom left hand corner, and we got a Raiders launch icon three Raiders launched from every may star on the board this. This is bad, oh and look, no jump; cymbal, fan-freaking-tastic, everyone, discards to ten and we're back to player one okay

 You cause structural damage, so it's easier to hurt later on and finally, my personal favorite score a critical hit which counts as having 2 damage tokens. They only need three total for them to be destroyed. These are your civilian ships. They'Ll occasionally appear on the board somewhere around the Galactica

How to play Battlestar Galactica (Board Game Tutorial)

 The instructions on the card must be followed. Sometimes the player is given a choice between a skill check and a dice roll.  Super Crisis Deck: When a cylon is revealed, he now draws from this deck instead of the normal Crisis deck. Super Crisis cards are very grave scenarios for the Colonial fleet

.. (1) Be wiling to dedicate a few hours to playing this game. It will not go by quickly

 You will achieve this objective through iterations of FTL jumps, passing skill checks, attacking enemy ships, and strategically moving certain characters to and from certain locations. You will lose and/or have to repair ships along along the way, and your resources will dwindle down with every hit from the cylons.  Cylon Objective: to destroy the Colonial fleet. You will meet this objective by covertly failing skill checks, attacking Colonial ships, and making the humans run out of resources

 You will rely heavily on the instruction manual at first because there are so many rules, multiple steps involved per turn, multiple card decks you have to build, and every playable character has unique skill sets and allowable actions. Here is my breakdown of this game so that people who haven't played can begin to understand the elements involved:  Human Objective: to find Earth before (a) the fleet is destroyed by the Cylons, and (b) running out of resources (food, fuel, morale, and population). You will achieve this objective through iterations of FTL jumps, passing skill checks, attacking enemy ships, and strategically moving certain characters to and from certain locations. You will lose and/or have to repair ships along along the way, and your resources will dwindle down with every hit from the cylons

Fraking awesome game!

 What is the most complex that game that you have ever played? Let me know uh and, as always, thanks for your time, YouTube that was the review for battlestar galactica, the board game for more reviews and previews check back at bowers game quarter. 

 They are robots who look like human beings, we're going to try and secretly sabotage your missions and then once you figure out who they are, they have the they can then become non secret, and then they can just really try and screw up your missions of getting Back to earth, this can be a very difficult game. So when you first start the game, we're going to try and hit on the important stuff you're going to get one of these roll cards and the role cards are going to have a couple important things. First, what cards are gon na be able to draw? Because these cards are going to be what's going to help people deduce? Who is in fact the good or the bad guys in this game? Because if no one else gets say, red cards and a red card is played on a negative vote which doesn't make much sense, you right now then they'd be like okay put him in jail because there is a jail. But let's just get back to here

Bower's Game Corner #249: Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game Review

5-3 hours so it’s a nice strategy game to play on a weeknight after work or to play through a few times on a weekend afternoon.  The game is Humans vs. Cylons. At the beginning of each game you get a loyalty card that tells you which side you're on

 The humans collaboratively try to preserve their limited resources and avoid being boarded by attacking Cylon ships. The cylons try everything they can to deplete the resources, either as a hidden cylon agent acting through subterfuge or as a revealed cylon operative on the offensive.  Half of the fun is trying to figure out who is a cylon and who is a human. I love to play as a hidden Cylon agent - trying to undermine the humans' progress without giving myself away

  This is a pretty in-depth game and usually takes a couple of turns around the board in order to get into the rhythm but once you do you can go pretty quickly. My friends and I usually manage to play through a game in 1.5-3 hours so it’s a nice strategy game to play on a weeknight after work or to play through a few times on a weekend afternoon.  The game is Humans vs

Always a Different Outcome!

 For me hidden role games at their purest are awful but I tend to like them when there is another layer of gameplay added. To that end I really dislike basic Werewolf and The Resistance but don't mind Bang! and now really like Battlestar Galactica.  First of all, probably the best implementation of theme I've ever seen for a board game, and all done without sacrificing gameplay. I love the show and love how the character cards and their bonuses/penalties reflect the characters from the show

 I love that you can switch sides half-way through the game, some people think this is a crappy mechanic but I think it is original and a lot of fun to all of a sudden have to start trying to sabotage these people you spent an hour trying to get home and, again, it really fits the show's theme.  Finally, the whole game is really well balanced for a game that has so much going on. And of course the one thing nobody can ever fault FFG on is their production values. The game is gorgeous and the bits are all solid

 Even their starting positions, the crisis cards, and that you can't deploy Vipers from one side of Galactica all pull from the show while still working really well for gameplay.  It is an intense and fun coop experience with constant tension since your resources are constantly diminishing as you get closer to your goal and gives you that feeling of treading water with shore just in sight on the horizon.

Best theme in a board game.

 If you are a sensitive person, you may not like this game because it has the potential to allow players to be ruthless.  ***POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT***  One player can sabotage the others. One player can find out that they are a Cylon and still help the humans, where on the other hand, one player could be helping the Cylons all along and turn out to be 100% human. Reading this sentence, you will realize how accurate this is from watching the show

 You may want to take a break between the practice round and restarting the game.  I play games with my wife and another married couple. What usually happens with longer board games is two people will get the game set up and refresh themselves on the rules (or learn them if it is the first time playing the game). While this takes place the other two will get dinner ready

I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer with either video or board games. I do enjoy casual gaming, but what sets me apart is that I would rather set up and play a four hour game than play a twenty to thirty minute Euro-Style card game.  That said, this game WILL take at least three or four hours to play once everyone is familiar with the rules and the characters and the board. I'll reiterate the familiar part

 One player can find out that they are a Cylon and still help the humans, where on the other hand, one player could be helping the Cylons all along and turn out to be 100% human. Reading this sentence, you will realize how accurate this is from watching the show.  ***END POSSIBLE SPOILER***  Enjoy!
