How is it playing with your older daughter? Does anything trip her up in particular? I think my son is going to adore this game. He loves stuff like warhammer adventure quest.

If you're in Canada and don't have your copy secured, Starlit Citadel (the guys who distributed Gloomhaven) has it on sale right now for like 25% off. (compared to the full retail... it's still more expensive than other place were selling the pre-order for)

Played the first game with my kid last night. He was the Brute and he chose Tinkerer for me. We got off to a rocky start but rolled through the rest of the first scenario without any hiccups. We screwed up at the very end - thought that we had time to loot before leaving the dungeon, so we ended up redoing the last turn, but otherwise it went really well. By the end of the game my son was making his own decisions without prompting, and he was really happy when we beat the last monster. I need to get an app for tracking characters though. I really don’t like their paper solution.

Aghama posted:I wish the first app provided a good way to track Personal Quests, my son has the one where you have to kill 20 types of enemies. Hmm. that's actually why I disliked the character sheet. It's pretty small for what you need to track. My son has that one too. I got: 6 side quests How hard are these going to be to complete? We got lucky and treasure unlocked one of my goals after the first mission. Somewhat related... putting stickers on the map is something I didn't expect to like this much. This is my first legacy game and there's something transgressive and exciting about defacing your copy of the game in this way. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 28, 2017 |

With you on the setup / teardown and need for additional storage solutions, and I had to go online to get a "what do you need for your first game" guide to make sure we handled it all. I think that was a big miss in the rules. About the campaign starting scenario - remember about the discarding cards to prevent sources of damage and also make sure you're only placing the enemies for 2 players. Not sure if it was the right call but we also both bought the iron helmet and stamina potion. The Brute bought Hide Armor as well. I think those both helped up the survivability - he was low health right at the end but neither of us was ever really in danger of exhaustion. And yeah, the chance of a whiff sucks, but we both hit a 2x (the first road event blessed us so we had an extra card in the deck) during our game and man it's a good feeling to have your key cards go off.

Isn’t retail actually Jan / Feb? I didn’t play gloomhaven last night. Instead I spent an hour organizing it into planos. Also got a sweet file folder for tiles and binder for the item store.

I think they shipped a while ago. I didn't even know the solo scenarios came with cards, and didn't read them obviously. Glad that they seem on top of that. I also need to send a request for a new cardboard sheet. A sheet I got had a bunch of cardboard ripped off of ~6 monster standees. On both sides. Just that sheet, not sure what happened there. Still totally playable at least, and honestly it would probably only affect resale value, but might as well get it fixed.

Tried playing last night with my kid and my brother. Kid screwed up playing the tank by hanging back a bit too much and we screwed up on scenario 2 by: not targeting the bandit commander early, and also by getting the rules wrong on the order of door openings. I also had a real hard time doing damage with my tinkerer with all those -1s in the deck We also screwed up a few rules, like early on moving monsters when their card only said to attack, and vice versa. Also my brother suffers from a small amount of AP and it took loving forever to get going. It took us like 4 hours to lose the scenario. A bit much for a school night, perhaps questionable parenting on my part. That said, everyone got gold and xp and had a good time and we’ll give it another shot soon. It was fun at the end when we realized we were going to lose and we’re just trying to loot / get xp before exhaustion kicked in. In the meantime I might be playing a solo scenario with two of the unused characters on the weekend so that I can internalize the Ike’s a bit better.

Subjunctive posted:Is anyone using those removable stickers for campaign replay ability? Rationally, I’m not going to get through the campaign even once, but permanent alteration of a game tickles something unpleasant within me. You aren’t going through even once. Putting stickers on the map feels sooooo good.

CaptainRightful posted:Just so you're prepared -- you cannot fit 100% of the game back in the box with the BT organizer, so hang onto that accordion folio. I got a decent-looking one with a closable flap and it sits on the shelf next to the box. The BT instructions call for carefully arranging all the tiles into a tray, which is tedious and unsearchable. Instead, I use that tray to hold all the stickers, the party pad, the elemental tile, health/xp dials, the giant boss monster standee, and the 4 boxes of my current party. The close-able accordion fold is great for storing the terrain tiles. Going to play this tonight with just the kid and I after a few nights of no / limited boardgaming.

My son and I took another kick at scenario 2 tonight. We went real fast. I didn't even complete my rest - we finished the scenario while I was doing my first long rest. I had used the Stamina potion though. That put us on like... Turn 7? We missed the treasure though. Does that means we can never get it?

I used an app for the scenarios but I found it really fiddly and annoying. I’m just gonna use the booklet going forward and try not to look too closely at how enemies are arranged.

Countblanc posted:Nope. Each monster has its own ability deck that you flip from at the start of the turn (per monster type, not each individual standee), but every time any monster attacks you flip from a shared attack modifier deck. I think this is maybe worded weirdly. Every monster attack gets its own modifier, yes, pulling from the shared deck.

Monster shields stack, but do our shields stack? Like if the Brute has both an armour item and his shield card up, can he use that to block two damage?

The summon always moves before the turn of whoever summoned it, and it follows monster AI logic. Also, can you say what happened to have a turn 1 10hp instakill with only 2 characters on the board? That seems really unlikely and you might have messed up a rule, other than just the lack of card removal to prevent damage, for hat to happen.

I just looked at the guard cards. Their low initiative cards don’t let them both move and attack. I think you missed that part. You only do what it says on the card. They don’t move and attack without penalty on anything less than 50 initiative.
