I think Jaws of the Lion is genius. Gloomhavens biggest issue is its scale, scope and learning curve. Now that scale and scope is also one of its great strengths, but its intimidating. I think the idea of making a more accessible, affordable Gloomhaven is one of the smartest moves in board gaming since Games Workshop and MB decided the make Heroquest and get the D&D dungeon crawling experience in toy stores. The card driven combat which i love is still in the game, and really its just shorter gloomhaven with a tutorial. Which is exactly what was needed.

@larsgutsein3910 4 года назад

I"d find it even more genius, if they released an upgrade pack for the Gloomhaven veterans for ten bucks less. No life point dials, elemental table, standee holders and monster stat sleeves. No markers for money, wounds and treasures and no duplicate equipment cards. It is unsatisfying buying duplicate stuff.

@3MBG 4 года назад

Would you expect the same of Frosthaven Lars?

@RageBadgerGaming 4 года назад

Dumbing it down, so to speak, to not overwhelm people as they learn mechanics and introducing the mechanics over a few scenarios. At first I was like whoa, this jump introduced a lot. Then I thought about the Black Barrow. And how everything is tossed at you instantly. Definitely a genius teaching mechanism and a fun short Gloomhaven campaign.

@larsgutsein3910 4 года назад

@@3MBG Interesting question... I would love to see standalone games that were optionally available as an upgrade to a base game. Concordia Venus is the one example I can think of. I would appreciate a Frosthaven option, but I do not expect it. It would not result in a smaller box, nor a noticeably lower price. Everybody ordering Frosthaven is prepared to pay big money for a big box. It would be great, if you could play the Frosthaven scenarios from the books, rather than map tiles. And have the removable stickers already in the box.

@3MBG 4 года назад

Yeah, i can definitely agree that would be a good thing. But not now, not once that many people have paid for the big frosthaven game. They would lose a lot of good faith with the people who backed them to get some good will from others, which is bad bad business.

@Fatpie42 3 года назад

Own Gloomhaven, but getting started was a massive pain and keeping track of the rules was tough too. Jaws of the Lion, with its gradual roll out of the rules has helped to clarify a lot of the minutiae. Also playing some levels without being overwhelmed is a much more fun way to play. I had to play scenarion 1 of the original Gloomhaven six times before I could complete it. Sure, Scenario 4 is the first actually challenging scenario in JOTL, but since the first five scenarios are basically practice missions, that's pretty much perfectly pitched.

@3MBG 3 года назад

Yep, and a massive reason why i now say to anyone who wants gloomhaven to get jaws first

@nickyuhas9209 5 месяцев назад

How long does a scenario take roughly? We played iss vanguard and each exploration phase in that took us around 4 hours with 4 people. Thanks!

@BerodranG 4 года назад

I watched this video right after watching your Gloomhaven video. Your talking was at a much more relaxed pace for this one. :) I'm still impressed by how much info you give in around 3 minutes. Thank you!

@3MBG 4 года назад

I tried to do this one more about "your first mission in JOTL", whereas the other was "OMG THE WHOLE GAME IN THIS TIME CODE" Weirdly, that reflects the main difference between the two games. One eases you in, the other goes to 100 immediately.

Finished gloomhaven and loved it. Will definitely pick this up to tide us over until frosthaven. Really like the idea of having a copy to give people an easier entry to the system too. That first level of original GH does not hold your hand much.

@3MBG 4 года назад

No it does not. It throws you in the deep end. Like, i play a lot of games and complex ones at that, and it was a mission learning the whole thing and then having to teach it to people.

@ScytheNoire 4 года назад

Great job summarizing the game in such a short span. I was always interested in Gloomhaven, but the sheer size of it kept me away. That's a big commitment. So I will definitely be picking this up once it's widely available.

@RatchetSly 4 года назад

I've always wanted to *try* Gloomhaven, but I've only seen it in shops at around the 150$ mark, and that's absolutely a "I gotta try it first" sorta price tag. A smaller, lighter version of the game that uses the same mechanics is great to hear about! Something to seek out once I can check out the game shops again soon. Also, pardon me for the question, but might I ask who the fellow in your avatar is? I know you've said it before somewhere, but I've forgotten; those are some excellent epaulettes.

because you can tune it as you level up. Removing poor cards, adding in better ones, and also adding in one that do bonus effects.

And to be clear, each player has their own deck as well. So each player tunes their own deck separately as they level

@@3MBG I thought this too. Like maybe 3 or 4 games on just run duos on 2 player. Once you're getting the concept.

@fernando47180 2 года назад

Really late, but I spotted two mistakes in the way you handled the board game elements. 1: The health dial is supposed to start at your maximum health, and go down as you take damage. In this video, you instead set it at 0 to begin with, and increased the dial's value when taking damage. This is technically incorrect, even though it would have little impact in gameplay as long as you don't forget what your max hp. 2: When using character tokens to keep track of the uses of persistent effects, you first move the character token across the entirety of the top row, and once it runs out, you then move to the start of the bottom row. In the video, you used the start of the bottom row as the second position for the persistwnt effect, which is technically wrong, and could modify what uses of the persistent effect grant you experience points. That being said, of all the things to get wrong about the mess that the Gloomhaven rules are, these two are rather harmless, so, good work!

@3MBG 2 года назад

Ha, fair. The first one is probably just a hang over from other games like Arkham horror

@fernando47180 2 года назад

@@3MBG Yeah, I can see how past experience playing games can set one up for misinterpreting game elements. But as I said, GH has so many rules, anyone claiming to get everything right their first time playing it must be either lying or the game creator himself. Thanks for checking on my comment!

@Nazzers 3 года назад

So the solo player has to play all 4 characters with their own hands of cards and you're playing two cards per turn each with top and bottom halves? Oof. I think I'm too dumb for this game.

"Want a dungeon crawl but hate fantasy? Try Imperial Assault." But, Star Wars is fantasy. Class is in session. Science Fiction is a subgenre of fantasy, but what makes sci-fi different and distinct is the attempt of the narrative to explain the elements of the story that make it fiction. Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, these are science fiction because they explain how humanity got to where the movie takes place. Star Wars, though full of lasers and wacky tech, doesn't seek to explain anything, from the technology, and the alien races, to the Force, making it a space-placed opera, a Fantasy. Another way of looking at it is this: Science fiction is something that could happen, but isn't desirable. Fantasy is desirable, but can't happen.
