The Mindthief, fastest out of all of us, picked off the most threatening monsters or rendered them completely useless so that the rest of the crew could release a torrent of destruction.I had so many different cards to pick from - bombs, traps, healing potions, and more - that it was hard to sort out, let alone know what to do during the quest.Īs time went on and we all got familiar with our respective character’s play style, we organically tailored our abilities and equipment to not only enhance our skills, but to complement each other and to cover up gaps.The Mindthief had to juggle between casting manipulation spells, getting up close to attack, and avoid dying in the process.The Spellweaver was intent on hoarding as much loot as possible, even to the detriment of the quest completion.The Brute ran into the horde of monsters to deal some damage, only to realize he was a prime target for a boatload of damage himself.We spent A LOT of time getting in each other’s way and trying to understand the rules without accidentally cheating our way to victory. The group comprised of the hulking Brute, the mystic Spellweaver, the cunning Mindthief, and the quirky Tinkerer (that’s me). (We’re coworkers in an office job but never played video games together.) While combat strategy and tactics weren’t new to us, the biggest challenge was meshing our individual skills and working as a team. My group is comprised of video game fanatics, ranging from Dark Souls to Divinity: Original Sin to Final Fantasy and more. While D&D satisfies my desire for the flexibility and creativity of building fantastical characters in a sandbox world, Gloomhaven satisfies my tactical muscle as my group and I complete quests involving dungeons filled with seemingly near-impossible objectives. Gloomhaven is a tabletop game where a group of adventurers set off to complete dungeons, gain loot, and fulfill their personal quests.
