Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up Gloomhaven can be time-consuming due to the sheer volume of map tiles, standees, and tokens. It is highly recommended to use third-party storage organizers to separate the game components by type, which significantly reduces setup time. Compatibility-wise, the game is designed for 1-4 players and works best with a dedicated group who can commit to a long-term campaign. To care for your game, keep your character boards in a cool, dry place and use card sleeves for your ability decks to prevent wear and tear from frequent shuffling and repeated handling during intense combat sessions.
