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

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the Palace, and you must rely on others to bring your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first? love letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2 to 4 players. Your goal is to get your love letter into princess Annette's hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire.

.. Well a bit weird. You're trying to get different peopl in the castle to deliver love letters to a princess

 They only ever keep one card in their hand so they're choosing between the card they had already and the one they've drawn. At the end of the round the player with the highest card value in hand wins. Pretty simple, right? Well, not so much, as every card has an effect on it that must be acted out when discarded. Most of them affect other players, but some affect you and can do bad things for you

Very good gameplay... Intersting everything else....

 You start out with a card, and play proceeds with you drawing a card and playing a card, performing the action written on the card. The object is to get the other player to go "out", thereby scoring you a victory cube. You win the game after you acquire a predetermined amount of cubes.  The rules are quite simple

Also, this game does not play as well with two people. Don't get me wrong; the wife & I enjoy playing it, it's just not at it's best with two people.

 I didn't care for the "cubes" that came with the game so I purchased some heart shaped tokens here on Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Broken-Token-Tokens-Affection-Pieces/dp/B00OP7NZBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419358028&sr=8-1&keywords=broken+token+tokens+of+affection ) It added some much needed theme and they are cute.

A fun light filler game

 Took my lunch game group all of 5 minutes to pick it up and we were off to the races. There's nothing tricky or counter-intuitive, everything is pretty straightforward. The strategy is pretty easily picked up as well. It's not the deepest of games, but for a quick game during lunch or to clear your head between brain burners it works very well

 The art is purely cosmetic, though, and doesn't impact the game at all.  Rules / Mechanics - very easy to learn. Took my lunch game group all of 5 minutes to pick it up and we were off to the races. There's nothing tricky or counter-intuitive, everything is pretty straightforward

Good game, fancy another go?

 but not dumb. The small number of cards makes it a good game to play outside, especially if you put card protectors on them (63x88mm).  The people that are really good at this game are the same people who are good at poker. Because the cards you receive are random, making the most of them involves your ability to read the people you're playing with

  The people that are really good at this game are the same people who are good at poker. Because the cards you receive are random, making the most of them involves your ability to read the people you're playing with. You estimate what cards your opponents have (and your potential to exploit that), by tracking the cards played and watching their decision making processes at each hand. It's a bit like if Clue and Poker had a baby

Hits its marks without getting complicated

 But there are also so many wonderful thematic touches - your nobles age, have political marriages, produce offspring, and die, which combined with how taking over regions is more heavily rewarded than holding them, gives the game a very dynamic feel. The political dimensions are great too, including having the player who is currently emperor decide which way ties go. Not a great game perhaps but a very unique and interesting one.

- **[In the Shadow of the Emperor]([URL REMOVED] (Ranked 1,191) - There's no other area control game I've played that feels quite like this one. It is from 2004, so there are some clunky mechanisms which, combined with blah art / design, give it a bit of a dated feel.

 I love the tactical element that the shifting map brings to the genre. The action programming and relaying information about face-down rooms provide so many opportunities for deception and misdirection. We've had tons of great stories come from this game over the years.

I love discovering hidden gems... Games that are much better than their BGG ranking. I find the ranking system a bit flawed and some really great games get pushed under by the masses. What game do you think has been unreasonably buried?

Edit: wow, thanks for the input. This gives me a LOT to consider. Wasn&#39;t expecting this much of a response. Encouraging.
</div>

Recommend a low-rated game (not in the top 1000 on BGG) that you think deserves way more respect.

 I was really impressed by the production: tall, thick cards with good art and matching sleeves, weighty poker chips, a good insert and a magnetic clasped box - very premium feel. I found the game very thematic too, possibly more so than the normal game.

 I have no idea how to strategise just yet - there's too much going on - but I'm keen to play more and find out!

 I won $153 to $126 and $123, so fairly close, mainly through triggering auctions and forcing the others to overpay for shares (they were both happy with the status quo and reluctant to auction anything themselves). I also held three of the four B&O shares and was able to push the income up high quite early on; it was also the only company to connect to Chicago. Looking forward to playing again now we know what's going on, and am also hoping to try it at higher player counts.

 He is in Junior Kindergarden . Play this game is like a reward for him at this point. The round is short and fun for me not only for him. We don't always do the complete 7 round winning for 2 player game, we just stop whenever it's time to leave the house

Even 4.5 year old can play this!!

 Fun. And cheap. What’s not to love? Weight: Light Learning Curve: Low Replayability: High
