Description
Gloomholdin’ is an 18-card, no-table-needed version of Gloomhaven.
It can be played completely in your hand, but I provide a way to play it on-table as well.
REGARDING SPOILERS:
Gloomholdin’ has its own plotline, so you won’t be spoiled on any of Gloomhaven’s campaign details.
You’ll see the names and art for a number of monsters and items from Gloomhaven, but that’s about it.
I want to say a huge thank you to Cephalofair Games for giving their blessing to post Gloomholdin’ for free download, and for granting permission to use original Gloomhaven art, characters, lore, etc.
Please be respectful of Cephalofair Games’ generosity and only use Gloomholdin’ as a free print and play game for personal use.
