Note: Because of Gloomhaven's length, I have not played the entire campaign. When it comes to overall buzz among hardcore board gamers, Gloomhaven is about as big as it gets. The game’s 2015 Kickstarter pulled in a respectable $386,000 from almost 4,900 backers, but with the benefit of a couple years of steadily growing hype and effusive praise from early reviews, the game’s second printing, now on Kickstarter, has secured over $3.1 million from over 32,000 backers as of this writing. Eighteen oversized punchboards holding hundreds of tokens greet you as you start diving through the contents beneath them are thousands of cards belonging to dozens of decks, seventeen miniatures (each held in their own little box), various wooden pieces, and an enticing array of sealed boxes, envelopes, and books.īut beyond the game’s huge box and mind-boggling amount of content, Gloomhaven is also a very big deal in board game land. Riffling through the game's box for the first time, I couldn’t stop laughing at the absurd bounty of it all.
The game’s campaign-which is composed of a possible 95 different dungeons-will easily take you 100 hours to complete. Price: $99 (£77) on Kickstarter, $140 (£109) at Amazon Gloomhaven, the new cooperative, campaign-driven dungeon crawl board game from designer Isaac Childres, is big.
