Founders of Gloomhaven (2018)

“All in all this is a game I really recommend. I think that you will get so many place of it if you want that every if you only gonna play it four or five times you will also have lots and lots of fun.”(28:15)

“Founders of Gloomhaven is unquestionably my new favorite game. The high level of player interaction and constant need to reshape plans feels extremely rewarding and enjoyable to me. However, literally no one else I've played this with has felt the same, so take that for what it's worth.”

“The Founders of Gloomhaven is a fantastic game. Though it takes a little while to teach and understand, everything quickly falls into place once you start playing.”

“If you are into the heavier games, then this is going to be brilliant for you because this will truly whe- whether as I said, whether you want to cut people off and play cutthroat or you just want to try and tell the story of Gloomhaven, I think it's a really really really interesting game.”(16:05)

“Ultimately I think Founders of Gloomhaven should appeal to any Gloomhaven fan, but I think it’s just as good if handled as a pure city building game. Overall it’s an excellent mid to heavy euro that is easy to pick up, but very brain-taxing as it goes on.”

“So I like it, I don't love it. I think the game is good, it's probably a little longer than I would want to play a game of this. I'm not sure how many people will continually want to play this with me.”(16:23)

“These are not faults of the game. The game works very, very well, it's very solid, it's a particular style of game that's going to work really well for some players, and that includes some fans of Gloomhaven.”(19:01)

“But if you happen to be a City-Building-Game-Person, you should check out Isaac Childres’ Founders of Gloomhaven! The artwork of the different races, the game tiles, and the aesthetic of how the city takes form is really neat”

“In summary, an interesting collaborative, cooperative economic game that pushes players to integrate economies. The town building is fun, but routing can be really hard to tell, and the rules are not terribly well explained, and some of the design quirks make it harder than it needs to be.”(2:43)

“Founders of Gloomhaven is simultaneously too complex and too abstract, too stuffed with ideas and too divorced from the richness of its own setting, to be truly recommended.”
