Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Great tutorial that gradually adds in more rules as you do the opening scenarios. Really enjoying the card based actions rather than relying on dice. The tutorial scenario does a great job of introducing players to the game mechanics.

Jaws of the lion is a slightly simplified version of the full gloomhaven game. It is easier to learn and play than the full game. The tutorial gives you just the right amount of complexity in each level. If you have a group of friends who want to try ... Read More

The first 5 scenarios teach you how to play and gradually introduce the rules. Maps boards are now in a booklet already set up for the scenario. First 5 scenarios are tutorials, but don’t lose any fun gameplay.

Must play for board gamers. Complete adventure that will keep you busy for a while. The game is pretty awesome when you have a 3d printer.

It does a great job simplifying the game in multiple ways. This saves an incredible amount of setup time. This eliminates all that! While i would not categorize jaws of the lion as a heavy game it is definitely a big step up in complexity.

Highlights

Quality

Components: all components are of high quality.

If you love playing coop, rpg, adventure and have a partner willing to commit to a pretty long running story, this is very good board game.

Do i see myself picking this game up again yeah one day, right now i'm stumped with campaign games.

- the stickers can't be removed from the map (removable stickers sold separatedly)

Price

This was and still is a great deal for the amount of game you are getting.

But, being honest, even if you play the campaing just once, the money you spent on this will be more than returned.

$50 in the store $25 on amazon.

A little on the pricey side but you get a lot for it.

Shipping

Came a little late due to my dog, but came undamged.

Packaging/appearance

The package came intact, very good service, and it has that american beautiful look and design on all the components and books.

There are items in the box that are sealed and can't be opened until you reach certain event in the story which i consider really exciting.

Competitiveness

This is one of the highest ranked games on boardgamegeek.

The price in comparison is also quite easier to agree to, so it should be an easy decision to go in for it if you've any interest.
