Gloomhaven: Second Edition is a revised and improved version of the award-winning base game Gloomhaven . It’s the culmination of everything creator Isaac Childres and the ever-expanding team at Cephalofair Games have learned since the original release, incorporating input from the community, playtesters, co-designers, and developers. The world, story, and challenging gameplay remain familiar, but a wealth of new content has been added to explore.
Even for players already familiar with the original Gloomhaven , this edition offers plenty of new features: mercenary classes, items, and scenarios have been rebalanced and redesigned. The game also features all-new artwork, rewritten storylines and events, updated miniatures, a new faction-based reputation system, and much more.
