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

Ticket to Ride is an award winning, cross-country train adventure game. Players collect train cards that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who can fulfill their Destination Tickets by connecting two distant cities, and to the player who builds the longest continuous railway.



The official Alexa skill takes players on a guided experience from setup to the end of the game and features unique sound effects and music. No rules are needed after saying “Alexa, launch Ticket to Ride.” The skill also allows a person to play against Alexa!



For 2 to 5 players ages 8 and older. Playing time: 30-60 minutes. Comes with: 1 Board map of North American train routes, 240 Colored Train Cars, 110 Train Car cards, 30 Destination Tickets, 5 Wooden Scoring Markers, 1 Days of Wonder Online access number, and a Rules booklet.

Wirecutter

This empire-building game is easy to learn and quick to play, but it still involves a fair amount of tactical decision-making, with opportunities for deceit or betrayal.

This simple-to-learn game challenges players to build the best train routes across North America, and it’s fun to play again and again.

TechGearLab

For a strategic game that is still fairly simple and quite replayable, check out Ticket to Ride. This travel-based game has players collecting cards to build and connect railroads between major North American cities. Players can take multiple different strategies to build longer railroads and connect the cities on destination cards while blocking other players' railroads. We particularly appreciate that while this game takes a lot of strategy, it isn't overly complicated.
One potential drawback of this game is that it can last a long time, but if your evening is completely free, that might not be a major issue. It also takes a little time to understand the rules and gameplay, but once you figure it out, it is pretty clear-cut. Finally, game setup can take a little bit of time due to the several hundred pieces involved, and you'll need to be careful not to lose any of the train pieces since that could affect gameplay. Despite these minor setbacks, Ticket to Ride is a great game that will keep the game-lovers in your circle entertained each time you play.

 If you're gonna choose train cards, you can either pick two from the cards that are revealed or two random ones. It's not all luck of the draw because there are five options for you to choose from. However, if you don't like any of the options that are revealed to you, you compress your luck and draw two from the deck. You know once you get your ticket, destination cards and you can see, then you're like, But then I'm thinking of myself in my head like no, no, don't look at it Everyone will know So it's like I saw your eyes

 [Music] Overall, I'd say I give Ticket A Ride a seven. I like the pieces, they're simple, the cards, simple rules, you know, not too complicated, and setup doesn't take too long too. And overall, it's a good game. I'm gonna give Ticket To Ride a seven

 Just if you look at the back of the box you know that you're building rounds. It's also car drafting because you lay out the train cards and then each player when on your turn.

Ticket To Ride Board Game Review

 We have to clean each one individually with Windex and wipe each of them individually, then let each one sit out individually to dry. This sort of takes care of the dirt and stickiness, but the lamination should be better, especially how everything else keeps clean. We haven't needed to clean them again since the one time. It would be nice if the cards were larger, too

A Fun Game - Cards Wear Too Quickly

 You’ve got to keep at least one. These give a method to the madness of which routes you buy.  As you lay down your trains you rack up points, The longer the track, the larger the gain. If you successfully complete the route on your destination card, you also rack up points, but those you conceal till the end of the game

  Theme  Well, several off-shoots from Ticket to Ride have come. Not to mention an expansions for the original game that adds several smaller routes. So there is evidence that the theme can be slanted, but in Ticket To Ride Europe, game play is the same with some twists, like you can use someone else’s route for your destination’s sake without getting points for the route, and you route requiring tunneling through mountains are more pricey. These off-shoot stand alone games are a good way for Days of Wonder to charge full price for what could have been a less expensive expansion to the existing game

 I guess there are eccentric people out there, who are happy to shell out another $35 to $50.  Collateral Endorsement  I haven’t come across a soul who didn’t like this game, but you may say that my social circles are small. You are probably right, but I love growing them with games. My kids love to line up the trains from here to there, but they have severed my board in one place, so beware, the (read: any) board is best set up on a table rather than the carpet floor where wee feet are wont to walk

I can hear you say, “Yeah, but they are boards in different venues!”  Yes, they are, but Rio Grande seemed to be able to offer double-sided boards (Yes, that means two new maps) and new rule sets for Power Grid for less than half the cost of the original game.  “Oh

The Early Bird Catches the Worm

Fun game to play. Easy game to teach the kids to play with the adults. Gets kids knowing where major cities are and how to pronounce them.

 I am of the opinion that some of these modern classics, (**Small World, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Dominion, Catan,** etc...**)** are still worth playing today

Since it is one of me and my friend's favorite games, I was wondering how good Small World is, especially as risk and monopoly, both games I enjoy, don't seem to be rated very highly by this sub

<div class="md">Since it is one of me and my friend&#39;s favorite games, I was wondering how good Small World is, especially as risk and monopoly, both games I enjoy, don&#39;t seem to be rated very highly by this sub
</div>

How good is Small World?

The setup and play are very hard to understand. Outside of a neat box and concept, this is probably one to stay away from..

Too difficult for most

 i thought I was disproportionately bummed about it but then we babysat and our friends daughters also commented that their favorite part about the game was the cards and that the smaller size and simpler design was an outrage. So I felt validated.  I would happily pay more for those magnificent cards or collectors editions with special art. I did order the extension set which had better cards but still feel that the game should have come with the original, magnificent cards

This is one of my favorite games of all time. We had played it for years at a friend's house so I ordered my own copy. It combines strategy, luck, transit and.

A really fun game

There's something about the texture and weight of plastic pieces that makes them vastly inferior to their wooden counterparts. If Ticket to Ride came with wooden trains, I think my enjoyment of it would increase tenfold.

What Did You Play This Week? - (July 12, 2021)

It may seem complicated, but once you learn it, the game is great fun. It is just okay for 2 players, but much more challenging and entertaining with at least 3. It is not a quick game, so plan to spend at least an hour to play, depending on how many players you have (and how quickly they make decisions). If you play often, consider purchasing the expansion pack! Highly recommended
