What is Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion about?
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. Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience to get people into the gameplay more quickly where players will play on the scenario book itself which features new artwork unique to each scenario rather than the hard-to-organize cardboard map tiles. This game features a simplified rule et and a five-scenario tutorial that will ease new players into the experience. This game can be played as a solo gamemode or with up to 4 players.
