#1 – Don’t try to classify your character before playing. Gloomhaven Tips, Tricks, and Adviceīelow are some of the best Gloomhaven tips, tricks, and pieces of advice we could think of. Images might contain spoilers though, so please be warned. This article will talk about the base characters at Level 1, but should not, if I have written it correctly, contain spoilers. As such, we have put our heads together to collate the best advice we can give to someone starting out in Gloomhaven.

In our latest campaign we introduced a new player into the fold (who is playing the Brute) and he asked us what our advice would be for new players starting out. I have a Mindthief on the go, as well as a Cragheart, using two completely different styles of gameplay. My gaming group and I currently have two Gloomhaven campaigns on the go, and three of us are a part of both. Whilst kind of in a high fantasy setting, Gloomhaven also uses aspects of steampunk and just the imagination of its designer, to create a game that really is something unique and special. Of course, there is a steep learning curve, and it defies convention when it comes down to how the characters have been created. The legacy style RPG style game designed by Isaac Childres has well and truly taken the world by storm, with over 13,000 10* reviews on Board Game Geek, and is currently recognised as the highest rated board game of all time.
