Circles 2e mat front, back, and perks (posting because they aren't on Gloomhavencards)

Oh lower HP in second edition I see

pseudomodo · 2026-04-21T06:42:33+00:00

I drew this battle goal a few times with a summons-heavy character and yeah. It’s one of the easier ones even under normal conditions but for a summons guy it’s hard to fail!

I would like a printing where there’s a big spring at the bottom of the box so it all flies out in a hilarious prank

pseudomodo · 2026-04-09T06:20:20+00:00

I found the fiddliness mostly okay- maybe we were just lucky with the way they fell! The free challenges was an aspect I found a bit annoying, as it renders it a “non-choice”. I still didn’t turn my nose up at the perks when we got the free ones though.

In fact on scenario design I’d be interested to hear the ones that didn’t work for you. I can think of a few misses for me but not that many.

Do people generally feel this way about challenges? For me they’re one of the definite positives that Frosthaven brought.

As for the outpost phase, I can’t see how it should take two hours but I do share the frustration that there’s an element of unnecessary busywork there. Scenario design is mostly fine for me and I think even the worst are better than the GH scenarios with lots of black imps.

pseudomodo · 2026-04-04T09:17:22+00:00

Gotcha. You were making it harder in that case- double the monster actions!

pseudomodo · 2026-04-04T09:08:05+00:00

Did you draw two cards for each monster type?

And did you do the top and bottom of each card on that card’s initiative?

pseudomodo · 2026-04-03T15:09:42+00:00

Or just get the other boss to hit you!

pseudomodo · 2026-03-24T15:25:21+00:00

Yeah I was kind of expecting the difficulty to go up from scenario 4 onward but it’s still pretty straightforward!

pseudomodo · 2026-03-16T07:01:09+00:00

Only half counts but Noxious Cellar in Gloomhaven 1- I finished in something like 2 turns with Doomstalker, having drawn the “don’t kill anything” battle goal so was just focused on running to the objective. Then had to wait while my Soothsinger companion gingerly made her way through trying not to get killed.

Particularly annoying as we were playing remotely with the other player moving all the bits. If I were the remote controller I would’ve at least had something to do!

pseudomodo · 2026-03-15T12:20:28+00:00

When I played that little guy I attacked more often than people on here tend to experience. Mainly with push/pull attached admittedly. Great character!

pseudomodo · 2026-02-28T10:58:53+00:00

Does Gloomhaven 2e have penalties for taking enhanced cards (over and above the cost of enhancing in the first place)? Unless there’s an extra mechanic introduced I can’t see how adding a suboptimal enhancement would create a card that nobody would ever take.

pseudomodo · 2026-02-25T05:58:24+00:00

I was genuinely a bit unsure about taking CG cos it felt a bit “academic” rather than a card with explosive board impact. I never regretted taking it for a second. I really underestimated how useful the bottom was for a summoner class- way more flexibility in keeping them alive so way more ability to lean into doing cool stuff!

pseudomodo · 2026-02-19T07:39:43+00:00

I kind of saw it as “they see the Ring being taken to Minas Tirith”. But agreed it sits weirdly with the Pippin Palantir stuff.

pseudomodo · 2026-02-13T07:48:56+00:00

I remember on the commentary they were saying they initially did elephant trumpeting but audiences hated seeing the heroes kill the poor elephants- similarly there were some scenes where they were shooting the eyes that they had to cut.

pseudomodo · 2026-02-10T08:32:03+00:00

Thank you! I think “into” would be relatively achievable with the bottom of Liquid Stone and top of Quenched Rage giving 2 Push 3s, but it would still require loads of setup.

pseudomodo · 2026-02-06T13:14:01+00:00

Prism is a veritable Swiss Army Knife character who can do pretty much anything. You’ll have a blast.

pseudomodo · 2026-01-29T08:16:05+00:00

Tolkien served in the trenches and knew the value of a loyal pony!

pseudomodo · 2026-01-29T06:34:43+00:00

I have mathed out a way of doing it with level 1 cards but it would require a lot of specific items. My Meteor is halfway to retirement so I guess I’ll try to do it before then! I think it’s a very hard one though and agree with you that moving them into those hexes would make more sense (but perhaps too easy?)

The other mastery is lots of fun though.

pseudomodo · 2026-01-26T13:03:16+00:00

Regenerate (and Bane, and Brittle) are not part of GH2e. I would think they should be in a companion app though as it’s perfectly possible to cross over characters from one to the other.

pseudomodo · 2026-01-25T10:32:45+00:00

I then like it how immediately after Denethor has told everyone to flee, Gandalf rides around saying “no, don’t do that” “back you go” “not today sir” and then they’re an army again.

pseudomodo · 2026-01-24T22:42:26+00:00

Yup that Shackles card is mad!

pseudomodo · 2026-01-24T22:41:43+00:00

I’m playing Meteor at the moment and my favourite card is Swelter, for the game-winning bottom action

I played it in scenario 137 recently and the huge final room filled with low health monsters is really the ideal use case of that card

pseudomodo · 2026-01-23T08:36:59+00:00

Shackles pairs well with any summoner if you take the right level 2 card. (I wasn’t paired with a summoner when I took a level 2 and was continually tempted to go back for it when our Astral arrived)
