Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion

About this game
Everything that makes Gloomhaven great, packaged for newcomers. Four pre-generated characters, a built-in tutorial that unfolds over five intro scenarios, and enough campaign content to occupy months of play. The best entry point into tactical dungeon crawling — and not a lightweight one either.
