Today is an exciting day as we revisit the Gloomhaven universe together for the fourth time on the channel! The latest entry is called Jaws of the Lion, a brand new streamlined campaign for retail release! Target releases June 21 and hobby distribution begins in August. In this video we'll get to the gameplay and show you Scenario #1. One of five scenarios from the Learn to Play guide which knocks down the barrier of entry by teaching you Gloomhaven progressively over the first five scenarios. Enjoy! ;D Check out the Forteller App for complete professional voice narration for Jaws of the Lion here: bit.ly/rollingsolo_jawsofthelion FYI: 29:09 Only walls break line of sight. No gameplay impact. The Strength Condition on the Demolitionist should have lasted until the end of it's next turn.

Received this game today,thanks to your unboxing and playthrough. This looks like to be so much fun!!! Even bought the Audio narration for total immersion.

29:09. Obstacles do not block line of sight. See p 9 of the learn to play guide.

Now I want all the Gloomhaven/Frosthaven redone with the map-books and initiative trackers. So cool.

Nice play through Adam!

I think 2023 is the year I finally dive into the Gloomhaven world with Jaws of the Lion. I'm torn between starting solo sooner or waiting until a friend and I finish Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and then seeing if she wants to join me for Jaws. Hmmm.... Anyway, I really appreciate the clarity and pacing of your videos. So helpful!

Nice play! Tactics note: as a Hatchet player, you should have moved one more space north before the disorienting barrage. You can throw over the obstacle and there would be no disadvantage.

Great way to introduce new players to the games. Excellent effort by Isaac and his team.

I know this was just done for demonstration, but it's funny bc most of the time this scenario can easily be done without taking any damage. Great playthrough!

My wife and i just started today. Thanks so much for the video we were so lost lol

excellent video series, thanks for the detail

I mean.. I’m hyped for Frosthaven offcourse, but at this point, I think Jaws of the Lion got my attention even more, weirdly enough. The way the tiles are in the book enable a lot of variety and the tiles all looks very themactic. Seems to work really smooth as well.

just a suggested edit...around 29:25 you mention the obstacle blocking your shot to the raider in the top right. but according to the rulebook, obstacles do not actually block line of sight for ranged attacks.

Excellent video, thank you so much

This was a really good concise to the point walk through.. just searched for scenario 2 but couldn't find one, pity... really good job in explaining the game as you go.

This has got me very excited Adam! I’ve watched your Gloomhaven showcase before, and I knew the game would overwhelm me. Now here is something I can understand: this is my absolute preferred way of learning; not just board games, but anything new. Following something step-by-step like this is totally my thing. It is also released around my birthday! Cheers!

Nice Playthrough! I'll try it in TTS with some friends now. Here some corrections to the rules: Single players usually increase monster level +1 Obstacles do not obstruct the line of sight, only movement

With advantage v disadvantage, in the rule books it says for an advantage you draw two modifiers,pick the better of the two, and for disadvantage you draw two modifiers and pick the worst of the two. The missus and I played through about 3 scenarios before we actually noticed that.

Just bought the game because of your review. Thank you.

A good video - thanks for sharing. I especially appreciate the camera work: you make an effort to frame the components clearly and up-close, so that the text can be read. It's amazing how few game play videos clear that hurdle.

Awesome start to the playthrough. Looking forward to the next part.

A+ intro as usual, Adam.

Ah! I also decided to roll with the Hatchet, although my wife elected Voidwarden. Definitely with you, that this is a much better intro with throwing as you put it "not so many overwhelming rules up front" I'll likely be trying to introduce the lads I weren't able to sway with initially with this box. :)

This game would have been great before the big box sets. Having Gloomhaven and having backed Frosthaven on kickstarter Jaws of the lion would have been a fantastic game to get your feet wet before plunging into the big boxes, and the boxes are deep!

I place condition tokens on the standees. That way I can see conditions better.

Thanks

Great video. Your videos always help me much more than 'Watch it Played' does! Thanks!

I started has the healing support class voidwarden. Im already going to restart and reroll to a demolition class.

Wow, perfect intro! 👌🏻 I really like this game, it’s on my list now!

Was never sold on the original but I like this streamlined version. It would also be a lot cheaper. If I ever change my mind I’d go for this, not the massive 100hr version.

Huh. Man, I had no idea this was a thing! I hope I can get my hands on it soon! I still haven't gotten my copy of Gloomhaven yet (it got delayed 30 minutes away from me 😒), so constantly refreshing my tentative grip on the rules is bound to help when it does finally arrive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the strengthen effect should have lasted one more turn on the demolitionist! It wouldn't fade at the end of the turn he got it on, rather at the end of the NEXT turn

This helped me a lot my first run through I lost and I was like damn I know this first level can’t be this hard I was using the monster ability cards for every enemie attack and I had the vermlins set to lvl 5 so basic had 15 health and elite had like 23 or so nonetheless after watching this video I went back and clean there faces on the board now that I understood the rules thanks a lot I was also running solo! Cheers 🤟🏽

This game is just awesome. Your playthrough of outer rim was great and this is just as good. Is there alot of replay ability with this one?

It would be nice if Mage Knight had a introductory game like this!

The strengthen condition was placed on the demolitionist on itself during its turn. A condition like that is discarded at the end of its next turn, not current turn. I believe you could have benefited from it on another turn :o

i’ve stayed out of the gloomhaven world as it’s so big and i’ve only got room for one massive campaign in my life (arkham lcg for me!) but this looks like the perfect entry point for someone like me. i think “undertow” is to “too many bones” as “jaws of the lion” is to “gloomhaven” would you agree having played it?

Great Intro, I loved the Imperial Assault app in game tutorial and felt it was big miss in gloomhaven. I wonder if this strategy will go foward in Frosthaven.

Love your Vids. keep it up

At 31:20 you remove the strengthen condition from the Demolitionist, but I think you shouldn't. The Demolitionist gained that condition in the middle of his (second) turn, and all conditions are remove at the end of the next turn (third), so he should have it for half a turn (the one he gained it, the second) and a complete turn after that (the third). Isn't that so?

As always, awesome playthrough and interesting game. Btw, just want to ask how do you guys do your recording, any tips you can share for someone who would like to try the same thing like me? Also, any starting or basics equipment/tools need in a more beginner and budget-friendly(e.g. cam/phone, stand, lights, mic)? Just like how you guys start off :)

Heya! Nice video. I'm super excited for Jaws of the Lion, too bad it's sold out! Small rules nitpick, at 22:50 you describe Line of Sight as drawing a line from one corner of the hex to one corner of the other hex. This is how LoS was performed in original Gloomhaven, but my understanding is that for JotL it's been changed to drawing a line from any part of the attackers hex to any part of the target's hex, not just corners anymore. This avoids some very odd corner (no pun intended) cases in Gloomhaven where you didn't have LoS even though it looked like you really, really should. Since you actually have a copy of the rulebook, is that change true?

Cant wait to get this. Question - are those stickers removable? Im a bit dreaded by the "permanently used up" part of Gloomhaven.

Gloomhaven is too expensive for me, especially considering I would be playing it solo or begging others to join me :D It's not completely off the table, but maybe I will have more luck convincing people to jump in with JotL. I'll try to get it as soon as it becomes available in EU. I did play a few scenarios of GH and I really liked it. Maybe if everything goes well and my group ends up liking this I could convince them to donate a little bit of $$$ so that we could get GH proper :D

Hey man, will you be doing more scenarios? :)

Aside from this video, I know nothing about the game. I do own it, however, still sealed. Would you recommend 1 or 2 players? I think 2 may be more fun since you don’t know your partner’s cards. Thanks.

Is there a part 2?

So im lost is it a change in lion that obstacles brake line of site? in gloomhaven they do not. seems like a fairly major rule change.

Do you think a 10 year old can handle this? I really really want this but I only have my kids to play with. 10 and 13 years old.

Gg, I'm on twitch as KHALFANi ... keep it up
