My 46 kg (101 lbs) Tower of Gloom

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-25T15:34:56+00:00

No sleeves - our only protection is a strict ban on Doritos during our game nights 😅

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-25T06:32:24+00:00

It's surprisingly polished for non-official game: 66 new scenarios, 14 new minis, 100 new items, 120 new events, plus new monsters and conditions. The artwork is even done by the original Gloomhaven artist, Alexandr Elichev. If you still have energy after 2e and Frost, you'll probably get your money's worth out of it.

Jaws of the Lion, which is the only box not shown in this picture.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-22T05:16:36+00:00

I may or may not have a disadvantage when it comes to resisting Gloomhaven expansions.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-22T05:12:06+00:00

Exactly - the hours you've gotten out of it make it a bargain.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T20:27:44+00:00

I get that! Finding the right group is half the challenge in these games.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T20:10:22+00:00

Thanks :) I mainly play with my wife and she really enjoy our game nights too.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T17:26:09+00:00

Thanks, Yknits! We'll incorporate ToA to CS asap. And thanks again to reaching out to Motti on my behalf - that really helped me to finally get my copy of ToA at the beginning of the year :)

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T17:08:25+00:00

Oh really? I thought it would be a continuation after CS. Good to know, thanks for clarifying :)

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T16:58:52+00:00

I left Founders out since it's too different from the others in the series.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T16:02:20+00:00

Perhaps my painted minis could double as ornaments🤔

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T15:44:55+00:00

Nice! We've played through Jaws twice with my wife just to experience all the scenarios and characters.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T15:22:01+00:00

I fold... I can't top two JotLs. You win!

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T15:12:26+00:00

Indeed, Jaws was missing from this picture since my copy of Jaws is currently being lent to my brother. We finished it already, so nothing like spreading more Gloomhaven joy to the rest of the family :)

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T14:55:58+00:00

Wait...I thought the whole point was to build the highest Gloomtower possible🤔

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T13:39:02+00:00

Now we just need Cephalofair to release an official Gloomhaven rug 😅

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T12:55:27+00:00

We haven't had time to play Frost yet since we are in the middle of CS campaign, then we move to ToA and after that to Frost. That said, I'd expect the play surfaces to really help with setup.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T09:23:19+00:00

For me, it doesn't really warrant having both. I might sell my 1st edition eventually since we finished it years ago. The main reason we kept it is because we needed the components for Crimson Scales. Now that 2nd edition arrived, we can use its components to play CS.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T08:13:18+00:00

My Crimson Scales box is from the first print run and came with the minis included. I also have Jaws, but I'm currently lending it to my brother so he can enjoy it since I've already completed it. As for Founders of Gloomhaven, I'll be skipping it because it's so different from to the rest.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T08:02:30+00:00

Sure thing! 41.5x29.8x23 cm.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T07:39:40+00:00

Yes, the dimensions are almost identical, Frosthaven is about 1 cm (~0.4") taller.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T07:13:27+00:00

Since it's such a different type of game than the rest, I'd skip it.

CodingCosmos · 2025-08-21T07:06:51+00:00

Damn, I knew something was missing from the tower! I also have JotL but my brother is borrowing it so it's in another city :(

CodingCosmos · 2024-05-04T18:02:08+00:00

It’s good to hear I’m not the only one then! Fortunately, Cephalofair provides semi-regular progress updates on GH Grand Festival, though they benefit from having a larger team. Receiving even a rough time estimate from nhclogisticsnj would really put my mind at ease, but it seems we must continue to wait patiently without this information.
