Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game that takes place before the events of Gloomhaven. The game includes four new characters — Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), Human Voidwarden (support, mind-control), and Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, obstacle manipulation) — that can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game.

The game also includes 16 monster types (including seven new standard monsters and three new bosses) and a new campaign with 25 scenarios that invites the heroes to investigate a case of mysterious disappearances within the city. Is it the work of Vermlings, or is something far more sinister going on?

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience to get people into the gameplay more quickly. All of the hard-to-organize cardboard map tiles have been removed, and instead players will play on the scenario book itself, which features new artwork unique to each scenario. The last barrier to entry — i.e., learning the game — has also been lowered through a simplified rule set and a five-scenario tutorial that will ease new players into the experience.

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion

Great introduction to Gloomhaven system

If you are worried about spending $130 for the Gloomhaven base game, I highly recommend purchasing Jaws of the Lion first and seeing first if you like the system. Also includes one of the best set of tutorial scenarios that ramps you up into the full Gloomhaven system.

Such a great strategy game

Some great co-op/solo gameplay with a good introduction to the mechanics

Awesome, love this game

Super fun and easy to set up. highly recommend over gloomhaven

Great co-op that rewards strategy and teamwork

With a simple and straight-forward set-up and intuitive rules that get more complex and interesting over the course of several tutorial adventures, this "Gloomhaven-lite" is a perfect place for those interested in GH, but put off by the price, table footprint or set-up/tear down time.

Great game

Great little game. Due to the way identical cards are counted as one, it is hard to predict how many points are in your opponents hands based on the number of cards they are holding. Creates a nice twist at the end.

Excellent service.

Just awesome!

The components, art quality and overall theme of this game is excellent. The miniatures included in the deluxe version really give the enemies a sense of presence. I’m looking forward to many games of slaying monsters! Just awesome!

Great light fun

Light enough to play with my kids, deep enough to enjoy with a group of adults (plays really well at 3). Lovely artwork. Check this one out!

Great two player game

Easy to learn, good depth of play, quality construction, would recommend it for your two player collection
