Product Description

Playable as a stand-alone game or as an expansion to Gloomhaven.


From the manufacturer

Cephalofair Games Gloomhaven: Jaws of The Lion

A stand alone game that precedes the events of Gloomhaven

The game includes four new characters — Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), Human Voidwarden (support, mind-control), and Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation) — that can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game.

Hereos are invited to investigate mysterious disappearances within the city

Is it the work of Vermlings, or is something far more sinister going on?

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience to get people into the gameplay more quickly. All of the hard-to-organize cardboard map tiles have been removed, and instead players will play on the scenario book itself, which features new artwork unique to each scenario.

The last barrier to entry — i.e., learning the game — has also been lowered through a simplified rule set and a five-scenario tutorial that will ease new players into the experience.

  • 1 - 4 players
  • 30 - 120 minute playtime
  • Ages 14+

About the game

  • 16 monster types (including seven new standard monsters and three new bosses)
  • New campaign with 25 scenarios

    Great Introduction to Gloomhaven! NOT HARD TO LEARN!

    Great Introduction to Gloomhaven! NOT HARD TO LEARN!
    Man, what can I say that hasn’t been said already. This game ROCKS! Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a cooperative RPG table top game that is very “gamey”... in the sense that it feels like a video game but on the table. If you’ve played turn based strategy video games such as Divinity Orginal Sin 2 or XCOM you’ll probably pick this game up very fast.With that being said, it’s not a very complicated game to start of with. The games has tutorial scenarios that you start on the slowly introduce mechanics to the player so that you’re not overwhelmed when you first start! But trust me that rule book will be your best friend for a while.I’ve played this game solo (10 hours playtime) and it’s very fun and playable that way, however the pacing can definitely drag at the start because you’re looking at 2 different hands and learning how to play the characters as well. However, I’ve recently started playing with a couple of friends (8 hours) and thats helped a ton with speeding up the game sessions and obviously has made it more enjoyable as a whole.All in all this game is a 10/10 for me, I do wish that there some more things to do instead of just fight in scenarios and do random city events, but the core gameplay is very solid and the game can screw you over plenty, but it’s so rewarding when you can overcome that and clear the scenario by the skin of your teeth! Just go ahead and buy it already!
