Gloomhaven - Jaws of the Lion

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game that takes place before the events in Gloomhaven. The game features four new characters - Valrath Red Guard (Tank, Crowd Control), Inox Hatchet (remote damage), Human Voidwarden (support, mind control), and Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation) - which can also be used in Gloomhaven's original game.

The game also includes 16 types of monsters (including seven new standard monsters and three new bosses) and a new 25-story campaign that invites heroes to investigate a mysterious disappearance case in the city. Is it the work of the Vermlings, or is there something much more sinister?

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a wider audience in order to get them into the game faster. All hard-to-organize cardboard card tiles have been removed, and players will instead play on the lui-mêmescenario book, which includes new illustrations for each scenario. The last barrier to entry - that is, learning the game - has also been eased with a simplified set of rules and a five-scenario tutorial that will make it easier for new players.
