Rolling Digital is back in action!! In this video I check out the officially released v1.0+ digital version of Gloomhaven developed by Flaming Fowl Studios and published by Asmodee Digital. I have a lot of experience with this digital adaption of Gloomhaven pre v1.0, but now the entire 95 scenario campaign has landed as of October 20th. This along with many other changes is more than enough reason to revisit this one. Join me as I complete a full solo play of the first scenario of the campaign called the Black Barrow!

Tips For Playing Gloomhaven!
#1. Save "Loss" abilities until final room(s) and/or later half of scenarios.
#2. Offense is the best defense. (i.e. you can't out heal a monster's damage output, so kill them efficiently and quickly.
#3. Initiative and movement is very important. Letting monsters close the distance and not rushing them allowing them free hits can be critical.
#4. You won't get all the gold, and that's ok! Gloomhaven intentionally has more loot than you'll usually be able to pickup, so only focus on loot that works within your action economy.
#5. (Fail Faster) There will be learning curves along the road of Gloomhaven as your party retires, evolves, and you unlock new characters. Don't be afraid to experiment and power through some scenario attempts expecting to fail. You'll keep XP, money, etc ideally even after losing and the best part of digital is no more phyisical resetting of the game!
"Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for traveling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process, they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make.
This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn.
Each turn, a player chooses two cards to play out of their hand. The number on the top card determines their initiative for the round. Each card also has a top and bottom power, and when it is a player’s turn in the initiative order, they determine whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other, or vice-versa. Players must be careful, though, because over time they will permanently lose cards from their hands. If they take too long to clear a dungeon, they may end up exhausted and be forced to retreat."
