Product reviewsCephalofair Games Gloomhaven Board Game - CPH0201

Better than expected. Heavier too.

If you're looking for a 'heavy' board game that hit's that D&D itch without needing a dedicated GM, you should really check this out. Go watch some video reviews first though - it's not perfect. But my friends and I are really digging it, more than we expected. Would buy again.Read full review...

Box busting

I don't normally play board games or any rpg that is not a video game. The price tag did make Gloomhaven look less appealing, however this singular box contains so much. I needed to purchase extra containers just to close the box!

Yes, it is easier to play a video game. Yes, it does take a while to setup and clean up. Yes, the rules for the enemy movement is very confusing. Yes, you will lose a ton and will have to set everything up again. Yes, it takes a very long time to play and it gets exponentially worse with each added player.

However none of these issues would prevent me from trying again. Your decisions will stick with you to the end of this game. Oddly enough I have no regrets, even with my poor choices.

Try a round with a friend's Gloomhaven first. If you cannot wait to see what happens next, buy it. Play it solo and master the basics (have a search engine ready).

This game does fantasy in a different universe from your standard dwarves and elves. Discovering is a huge part of this world (mostly in dungeons).

Do I have a score? No, because honestly I don't have anything similar to compare it to. Just be ready to have fun. Young kids are not recommended for this game. Try mystics and mice instead or pokemon. Read full review...

Heavy in more ways than one.

Gigantic box, tons of components, interesting packaging. Broad rule set, fairly complex, but interesting new card management mechanics and an enjoyable rpg-style campaign backed miniature combat board game. Read full review...

Gloomhaven is one for the ages

Amazing game. Three years later, I’ve played over 2/3 of the missions already but I had to go out and buy the whole thing again to play with a new group of friends. Childress just made a real winner here. Read full review...

The God of board games.

22 pounds of cardboard awesomeness. You'll need a lot of time and a lot of space but it's completely worth it. Definitely invest in an organization system.

My opinion of Gloomhaven the campaign.

Watched game play on YouTube and decided it fit my gaming group. Bought it and it was exactly as advertised and I got it in 3days. Great service. This is a GIGANTIC game. Weighs nearly 10 pounds. Great counters, easy and organized rules. Lots of replay ability and of course it is a legacy storyline game. It will provide hundreds of hours of fun game play.Read full review...

Game is great

Game is amazing. Lots of nice pieces and durable boards. A bit to set up but endless adventures await and I can't wait to start it.

Awesome game!

Lot to keep track of but an awesome game to play! No two scenarios are the same and gameplay is challenging but rewarding.

Tough, but fun!

Fun game, but tough. Be prepared to lose, but that makes it all the more fun when you beat a scenario :)
