Gloomhaven: the Jaws of the Lion is a big deal because it attempts to bring the Gloomhaven experience to more people by slimming it down and making it more accessible. But it is a very heavy game and a lot of people would be turned off by its heaviness. It’s a cooperative dungeon crawler ( ala Dungeons and Dragons) with a ton of content and beautiful art/design. Gloomhaven is the Number 1 game in the world, according to BoardGameGeek. What’s Gloomhaven and Why Is This a Big Deal? So, at 8:05am, I had the first copy and copies two and three were already spoken for. Apparently, two other people were right behind me. Just like my Wonder Woman game, I had to ask an associate if the game was in the back (it was: the game wasn’t out on the floor). Here’s the thing: there was a line at the store when we got there a 7:55! About 8 deep! Gulp!!! Is everyone here the get Jaws of the Lion? It turns out, today some video game was released and MOST people were there for that. The store wasn’t open yet, but I convinced my wife to get there right at 8am when it opened. Today, June 21st, 2020 is the day it was released! Upon seeing the 3 major YouTubers talking about it, I checked and saw that my local Target had it in stock: namely 4 of them. So, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a Target exclusive for the first month, then it will be available through other channels. The fact that Rahdo, Watch It Played, and the Dice Tower all talked about this today tells me “this is the day it’s released“. Oh ya! The end of the “media blackout” must be today! (A lot of times, very popular games have a media blackout where they can’t discuss the game until some predetermined date). So, this morning, my YouTube feed was jammed with 3 major YouTubers discussing Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion.
