The Fantasy Dungeon Crawl Game GLOOMHAVEN is Currently on Sale
I have friends constantly recommending that I play Gloomhaven. They constantly cite my love of Dungeons & Dragons for their reasoning. Unfortunately, the game normally costs around $140! That’s a bit much for me. However, if you head on over to Amazon right now, Gloomhaven is on sale for only $114.77. That’s 18% off. Gloomhaven is a legacy game (which I have conflicted feelings about) and it allows players to embark on a journey together and from what I’ve heard it is similar to D&D in the storytelling where it is based off the decisions that players make.
“Players will take on the role of a wandering mercenary with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for traveling to this remote 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 persistent game that is intended to be 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.”
In addition, you can pick up the Removable Stickers pack for only $9.50. This pack, as I understand it, gives the game replayability which is uncommon in these legacy games.
“A set of removable vinyl stickers compatible with Gloomhaven first and second printing. This pack contains a replacement for every map, achievement, and enhancement sticker in the core game, and also includes replacement seals for character boxes, secret envelopes, and the town records book. The stickers can be cleanly removed without tearing or leaving any sticky residue behind. With care, these stickers can be used several times.”
If you do pick up Gloomhaven, or if you already own it, be sure to check out the pre-order for the new expansion Gloomhaven: Forgotten Circles which is currently $40 and set to ship on April 15, 2019.
