Gloomhaven (Second Edition)

Lead a band of mercenaries through a branching fantasy campaign that blends tactical combat with legacy-style progression. Players use a hand of ability cards each round to move, attack, and perform special actions while managing their health and stamina; card choices determine turn order and create tradeoffs between short-term power and long-term survival. The edition reorganizes classes, scenarios, items, and events, adds new narrative content and faction reputation mechanics, and updates artwork and miniatures. Sessions link into a persistent map and character advancement where unlocked scenarios, rewards, and story outcomes shape future play.
