Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for traveling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process, they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make.
This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book.
Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn. Each turn, a player chooses two cards to play out of their hand. The number on the top card determines their initiative for the round.
Each card also has a top and bottom power, and when it is a player’s turn in the initiative order, they determine whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other, or vice-versa. Players must be careful, though, because over time they will permanently lose cards from their hands. If they take too long to clear a dungeon, they may end up exhausted and be forced to retreat

The best FLGS I have ever been too. Awesome and friendly staff, great community based group of awesome gamers. Overall top notch!
This has been my primary shop for several years now. The staff are friendly in a “remembers what you tend to buy months later “ sort of way.They go out of their way to build a community.The team is knowledgeable like only a game fan can be, and makes recommendations based on their experience. They know their product lines, and it’s absolutely clear.They do their darnedest to have as much of a product line as possible, and frequently have stock other stores don’t.Not to be missed
Battlegrounds is one of the best local gaming stores I've ever had the pleasure of being able to frequent. The owners are great, the customer service is top notch, the stock is great, and there is a ton of gaming space for whatever games you may be into. If you are in the greater Richmond area, you'd be remiss to go anywhere but here for any of your gaming needs.
Awesome place!! Great people, big space, best game store I’ve ever been to.
