Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion Expansion or Stand Alone

About this item

Dive into a streamlined, accessible fantasy campaign featuring four new mercenaries, built-in tutorials, and scenario books that eliminate tedious map tile setup. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (published by Cephalofair Games) bridges the gap between casual board gamers and the massive, sprawling box of the original Gloomhaven. The game serves a dual purpose: it operates as a complete standalone game with its own 25-scenario campaign following four new hardened mercenaries, and it functions as an expansion that can feed its characters and monsters directly into the core Gloomhaven game. The primary mechanical highlight is its streamlined accessibility: instead of sorting through heavy cardboard map tiles, players play directly on the scenario book itself, drastically cutting down setup time. It also features a genius five-scenario tutorial that eases players into the complex card-driven tactical combat system. Designed for 1 to 4 players aged 14 and up,
