Gloomhaven

Lead a band of mercenaries through the dark-fantasy region of Gloomhaven, taking on quests and making choices that shape a branching campaign. Play alone or with up to three other players, guiding a party of two to four characters through dungeons and other dangerous locations. Combat is turn-based on hex-grid maps. Each round, choose two ability cards for each mercenary and use one card’s top action and the other’s bottom action. Plan movement and attacks around enemies and the terrain, while managing your limited cards: losing them over the course of a battle can leave a character exhausted. Between missions, prepare your party by changing ability decks, buying equipment, and developing characters with levels, perks, and enhancements. The campaign includes story missions and branching paths; a separate Guildmaster mode offers additional digital missions and character stories.

Lead a mercenary party through branching dark-fantasy quests, using two-part ability cards in resource-driven tactical battles.
