Turtorials 1-5 - Tutorials 6-11
Gloomhaven is a tactical tabletop-fantasy rpg that uses card mechanics for both the player and enemies. It came from a highly successful kickstarter that delivered on the promise to make the world epic and expansive.
The videos show the PC release of the game which recently exited early access. These are the tutorials which show off the mechanics. The first vid shows the basic mechanics and the next 6 are mechanics that are specific to each of the starting character classes (there are more classes to unlock as the game progresses).
The initial releases were VERY rough and generally considered to be unplayable but it looks like the devs got their shit together and the 1.0 release appears to have fixed most of the issues.
Note that the gloomhaven lead designer is a turbocuck. I bought the game in early access before that info came out so its too late for a refund unfortunately.
But if you are interested in the pc game just pirate it. If you want to play the tabletop game with friends and not pay the devs then there are mods for Tabletop Simulator that let you play it perfectly and arguably better than the meatspace version since they automatically do setup and shuffling.
Pirated it to try it out, Played it a little bit, I thought it was alright. I’m just fucking sick of deck builders, honestly. It just seems like a regular tactical rpg with a bunch of extra shit piled on.
