Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game/expansion that takes place before the events of Gloomhaven. The game includes four new characters — Valrath Red Guard (tank; crowd control); Inox Hatchet (ranged damage); Human Voidwarden (support; mind-control); and Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage; obstacle manipulation) — that can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game.
The game also includes 16 monster types (including seven new standard monsters and three new bosses) and a new campaign with 25 scenarios that invites the heroes to investigate a case of mysterious disappearances within the city. Is it the work of Vermlings; or is something far more sinister going on?
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience to get people into the gameplay more quickly. All of the hard-to-organize cardboard map tiles have been removed; and instead players will play on the scenario book itself; which features new artwork unique to each scenario. The last barrier to entry — i.e.; learning the game — has also been lowered through a simplified rule set and a five-scenario tutorial that will ease new players into the experience.
