There are however 16 monsters (or enemies) that are represented by cardboard standees.

There are a total of 8 miniatures of which 4 are character cards and the last 4 are sealed away in tuck boxes that you will be instructed to open at predetermined steps. There are far fewer stickers than in Gloomhaven, but they still help you to track your progress in the campaign and which locations you have unlocked. Every time you open a new location you unlock the relevant sticker to place on the board map. Enemies also have a pre-determined deck and their actions for the turn are chosen randomly. Which card they choose will also determine the initiative for that round. Instead, each character has a deck of cards they can use to move and act during the scenario. Each game session is made of one scenario at the end of which players will be confronted with some decisions that will open new locations and new pieces of the story. A non-linear cooperative campaign game for 1 to 4 players exploring the grim high fantasy world created by Isaac Childres.If you are not familiar with Gloomhaven, here is a quick recap of what the board game offers: The game contains brand new characters, a few new monsters and bosses, and a completely new plot, while maintaining most of the mechanics from the main game. While the game is advertised as containing an easier rule set, the main simplification comes from using a scenario book instead of tiles, a really well-executed five scenario tutorial that will introduce the rules piecemeal, and a glossary that will help you remember key information. It has a simplified setup and a few clarifications on the rules but contains the same tactical depth of its predecessor Gloomhaven. So it works as a sort of new prequel campaign. This is the same unique fantasy world and setting is as the previous game Gloomhaven, only a few years earlier and concentrated in the city of Gloomhaven itself (instead of sprawling out into the surrounding area). Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion follows the adventure of a band of mercenaries (the Jaws of the Lion, one of the most infamous mercenary groups) that investigates a case of missing people, soon discovering there’s something else going on behind the scenes. 7 Final Thoughts on Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (one of our favorite board games) Jaws of the Lion Review: What is this game?
