Gloomhaven: Jaw of the Lion Board Game for $18.49
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is Celopahir Games' followup release to the hugely successful Gloomhaven board game. It offers a similar gameplay experience to the original and far more daunting Gloomhaven but it's been condensed to make the game more accessible to casual players; that means a simpler rule set, a more developed tutorial, and fewer overall pieces on the board. You're still playing a cooperative campaign that emphasizes tactical combat and RPG-stye character building.
Now if you think "condensed" means that Jaws of the Lion doesn't pack as much value, you'd be wrong. For starters, this board game is physically imposing; you're getting 6+ pounds of cardboard goodness, something you wouldn't expect from a board game that costs you $25. Although Jaws of the Lion is considerably less intimidating (and less expensive) than the original, it's still more complex than your typical board game. Rest assured you 'll still be looking forward to a steep learning curve with plenty of moving pieces in play, if that's the sort of thing you're into. If you're a fan of this board game genre, and you've shied away from Gloomhaven because of its price or complexity, then this deal is for you.
If you need even more convincing, check out our Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion review from earlier in the year. It's totally worth it at this price.
