Gloomholdin'

Gloomholdin' is a board game for 1–2 players. It plays in 20–30 minutes and is meant for ages 14 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 1.

A compact, 18-card reinterpretation of a dungeon-crawl campaign designed to require no table space. Players resolve scenarios using a small deck of cards that represent characters, monsters, items and events, allowing play entirely in hand or optionally on a tabletop layout. The game reuses familiar character and monster art and presents an independent short campaign with its own plot line. Players manage card-driven actions, combat outcomes, and scenario progression through hand play, making tactical choices and resource management across linked encounters.
