It should be called: Gloomhaven, Claws of the Kitten

What is this, a gloomhaven for ants?!

I believe the MSRP is $19.99.

Playing GH in the pub is going to be a lot easier to set up now :)

I love how Mike is able to be involved in reviews. I haven't played but I think what Mike said is what I kind of felt this would be for me. I also don't love puzzle's as the main point, I like a little more free wheeling fun in a 'dungeon crawl' esque game. I was backing this and cancelled and now glad I did. Also online rulebook sounds annoying. Thanks for the review!

I have played probably 100 games of Gloomhaven/Frosthaven solo (2 mercenaries) and love it. I look forward to playing this as a travel version or lighter experience on a weeknight.

I've been proudly save scumming since the 90s :-)

Looks like sleeving the cards is a must. They look extremely worn around the corners 😮

Gloom haven and mice and mystics? Sounds fun!

Played a few games recently and agree 100% with Mike. I want to recommend this game but really can't unless you're a gloomhaven veteran and like tiny solo games

21:22 can confirm, the cards were all bent to a greater or lesser degree for me, even before I played them. Opened it up, placed the first scenario card, and it bows up in the middle, so I have trouble keeping the mini and cubes in the right spot. I still think you get a good amount of game for the price, but the bent cards were very disappointing, especially since you’re using them as a board for other pieces.

Love the Dune Popcorn Bucket. Always keep that!

I don't know the whole story, but I believe the author of this wrote "Gloomholdin'", a very similar game you can find on BoardGameGeek.  I don't know if they approached him or he approached them or if something completely other happened, but Joel Klipfel wrote both.

For a small game like this, "go into a room and fight monsters" is really all it needs to be.  But I don't think it's for people new to Gloomhaven.  It's for people who know Gloomhaven well and want a lighter experience.

I picked this up as a solo filler game that I feel will be at least a good play. It's size will make it easy to toss into my bag to play while out an about. At the price I'm certainly going to fell okay about my cost per play ratio even if I don't complete the whole campaign. BTW: it was $15 + shipping when I backed it.

Shout out from Reno, NV! lol

For abilities with a small line separating them, do I get both in the single action? For instance, at 5:33, on kinetic assault. Do I get 1 movement and 3 attack for the top action?

I can't help to notice the 6 slots for moving the white cube on the modifier chart, and wonder if they tried it with numbers on the cube and numbering the slots 1-6! Although this way you would have to roll two dice!

I enjoyed JotL but even with that I had my Gloomhaven fill. I liked the card mechanic compared to dice rolls in other dungeon crawlers, though I don’t really want to play something as massive as the main game (or even Jaws of the Lion again). When I saw this, I thought it was perfect for me, it gives me that GH card play dungeon craw fix without investing months to years of my life to it (I’d rather play a ttrpg for that).

One thing that I am looking forward to are expansions as the limited amount of components makes it easy to expand. More campaigns, missions, monsters, items and characters are obvious. I can also see a campaing designed for two players.
