Overview
What ABG knows about this game
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: If you haven't played Gloomhaven, you won't be spoiled on much with Gloomholdin'. You'll see the the names and art for a number of monsters and items from Gloomhaven, but that's about it. Gloomholdin' has its own plot line, so you won't be spoiled on any of Gloomhaven's campaign details.
