Fitting with the Diviner’s backstory as you discover while playing. As we’ve come to expect with Gloomhaven, these are integrated well into the game. Along with the whole book full of exciting new scenarios. Young and Brute-ifulįorgotten Circles adds some fresh mechanics to the game with a new status condition and event cards. I was worried that it would be a little repetitive, but that was not the case. Hold tight and you’ll get the hang of it. Due to this need to change the style, it can make the first few scenarios quite clunky. This is especially true if like me you favour the brute force character classes like the Brute or Cragheart.

You’ll notice that you have to modify your playing style significantly to play the Diviner.

Not only is this expansion packed with a heap of new features but it even contains a new character class: the Aesther Diviner. Forever moving upwards, however, Cepholafair Games released Gloomhaven’s first expansion, Forgotten Circles. Sitting unchallenged in BoardGameGeek’s coveted number one spot, it felt like there was nothing that could build upon such an incredible base game. Since its release in 2017, Gloomhaven has become an A-list celebrity among board gamers.
