Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion - How To Play - Part 5

[@Zedcomet]

I wish you had a video for every single board game out there because your videos are better than any rule book could ever be.

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's very kind of you to say. I hope to keep making videos for a long time!

[@FiretruykLOL]

totally agree, its in one step and one learning block at a time. Excellent pace. Thank you!

[@moritzas]

Every time I try to learn a new game, I first watch the introduction from Tom Vasel or Game Boy Geek and then come to Watch It Played. Then re-read the rulebook before actual play.

[@ballgear39]

Totally agree with you, Thank you so much

[@dwbiz10]

I concur

[@Dundoula]

Your videos are amongst the best out there. Your cadence, pace, mentioning “but we will get to later in the video”, video editing and production, and small inserts of humor are all top notch. Thanks for creating these and sharing your efforts with us. You have guided countless game nights for my friends and I.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say, I'm really glad you've found the helpful - and thank you for the kind support, it's really appreciated!

[@jedragnamob]

Thank you “Watch It Played” for going the extra mile for all of us who depend on you. We simply couldn’t be more grateful. My girlfriend and i are now done with the 5th scenario with the help of you. We are now ready to face the upcoming scenarios and challenges while having fun because of your tutorials 😅! Once again Thank You 😊

[@WatchItPlayed]

Such a nice comment to leave Jed, I hope you both have a great time in the adventures ahead :)

[@Scoparker]

Anyone else get anxious when that pen came extremely close to that character mat to highlight the new max health?

[@macurvello]

I literally came to the comment section to write that.

[@kentlindsay1693]

Yes 😅

Oh yeah, i totally thought he was just gonna scrape that Level 1 health number out for keeping track easier.

[@JasonNicoll-j8o]

This five part series has been a tremendous help for my sons and me to learn and enjoy the game. (Not to mention your library of videos that has helped me play and/or decide to buy other games.) Thank you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's so great to hear - thank you both for the kind words about the videos, but also the very kind support as well!

[@johannesnorberg9806]

This walk through has been so helpful! You have a great way of explaining things :) Now I am waiting for the postman to deliver my copy of "Jaws of the lion".

[@WatchItPlayed]

Awesome - have a great time playing!

[@Gaoler86]

Could see how happy you were with that little lid flip at the end! This mini-series has been excellent.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ah, thanks so much!

[@koben333]

I think it was anything but a mini-series :D Really helpful, and much appreciated nonetheless :)

[@ghostbreakergaming]

A Mr.-Rogers-level box flip

[@j.r.shartzer]

Some heroes don't wear capes (to be fair, we don't know what you accent those taseful plaids with on your free time, it might be a cape). This series was beyond helpful. I'm off on my adventure and haven't had to read a single rule yet. You've eliminated a serious barrier to entry for this dyslexic and I sincerely thank you (and the good folks at Cephalofair for helping to sponsor this). I really appreciate how the design of the game doesn't punish you for making mistakes. "Whatever, just have fun," is a deeply reassuring approach for a designer to take with their rules, especially for a box this dense. Frosthaven might be a bit much for me, but Jaws of the Lion is just kinda perfect. There's a lot, but I still don't feel like I need (or want) and app to manage it all and really enjoy physically interacting with all of its mechanics. I'd just go play a video game, otherwise. This is my first ever solo board game experience, and I'm glad I started here with the best teacher I could have hoped for.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - thanks so much JR. I feel fortunate to be able to share my joy of the hobby this way, and I get to do that because people like you watch and appreciate it, so thank you.

[@TheMexicanSuperman1]

Thanks, Rodney for this wonderful series! I got this game for my gaming group and I always watched your videos to prepare for our sessions. We completely wiped the floor in Scenario 5 with an awesome double digit shot from Hatchet to put away the Blood Tumor.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nicely done Marcelo - very glad you liked the videos!

[@krisj328]

I've spent more time watching your How-To videos on this than actually playing. With the steep learning curve of this game I'm not sure I would have stayed committed to learning JOTL without these. Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to know they've been helpful! Happy adventuring :)

[@katstar1982]

I don't know what I would do without your videos! (Well, that's not true... I know I would spend countless more hours on tutorial books, while managing to also mess up half the rules for lord knows how many games). Thank you so much for these. They make my life so much easier, and more importantly, so much more fun.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Kathryne, that's so nice of you to say, I'm very glad you're finding them helpful :)

Its Impossible to be sad when watching his explenations. Such a happy guy , your are a natural born tacher for This . You made me buy This game ! Amazing job and thanks a lot!

“Thanks... for watching.” So purposeful. You should do podcasting or read books for audible. I’d listen to your voice any time. Relaxing!

That's very kind of you to say Jeffrey! Thanks... for writing :)

[@saranordgren3612]

Me and my friends where totally new to Gloomhaven. Even though this game is an introduction, we'd never make it without your help. There is so much stuff to keep track of and it was super helpful to have someone sort through the information for us. Thank you!

There is a lot going on here - so glad the videos were helpful!

[@Yieldman2009]

I've watched all of your Gloomhaven tutorial videos. I even played them for background noise while working, just to help me remember the rules. Your content and style is way more appealing than reading (even though the Gloomhaven JotL booklets are super great). Thanks for this!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very nice of you to say - so glad they were helpful (and enjoyable!)

[@robrokks]

Thank you so much for this series - it really made a huge difference in learning the mechanics of the game so it can be fully enjoyed! Your teaching style and pace are perfect!

[@ciudadanocivil5465]

THANK YOU Rodney for these videos. I got this game as a gift and I Iearned a lot by watching your tutorials. Once again, thanks. Among plenty of other tutorials I´ve watched in regards to different board games, yours are very detailed without spoiling, and also nice to watch. I personally appreciate it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - so glad you're enjoying the videos. Have a great time playing!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks, I just got this a few days ago. Boy have games changed since I was young. These 5 scenario walk throughs are brilliant. It’s taken me a couple nights a hour here and there to finally set up the pieces and the board, etc... I’ll definitely be referring back to these for guidance. Thanks.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time adventuring!

[@misterfilmguy]

My girlfriend and I have finished the first four scenarios with you and I can't wait to play scenario five. I even bought the full Gloomhaven to play after Jaws of the Lion so we have plenty of gaming left. Thanks for getting us into it!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ah, it's so wonderful to hear that you've been enjoying it. Very glad to have been virtually there with you :)

Thanks for the kind words - I hope you have a great time playing!

[@Imperialbricksproductions]

Amazing videos i have been wanting gloom haven for a few years now but was hesitant because i thought it would be super advanced. But now i feel confident enough to play it this weekend.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Excellent - have a great time playing!

[@ajumajumanukanukaapa]

Been playing with our 7-y.o. daughter. Today it's scenario 5 night and, even though her English level is not that great yet, she couldn't be more excited! Of course, the videos helped a lot.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad they were helpful - good luck with the 5th scenario!

[@TehBaconer]

Thank you for the clear and concise video walkthrough! This game is by far the heaviest I have ever played and the learn to play book looked so daunting, this made us able to learn the game in two days instead of a month! Very well structured videos, I hope you make more for some of the other heavy games I have but haven't tried yet. You rock!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to know these were helpful! Have a great time adventuring :)

[@TanEnthu]

I'm the regular game master for my group and your videos helped me so much with the teach. We could not have had so much fun without you. Your impact in our world cannot be minimize and you have achieved what you set out to do, to be that friend at the table to teach the rest of us how to play so we can just get on with it. ❤

[@WatchItPlayed]

Such a nice comment to take the time to leave - thank you!

[@thewynnersgameroom]

These videos were great just like all of yours. I’ve been considering Gloomhaven for awhile and the combo of the intro scenarios and your how to play videos made this sooo easy. Thanks for your hard work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much Kenneth - have a great time playing!

[@johnnyBird512]

Hey thanks Rodney for this playlist! Your videos are always the ones I trust most to get the rules right. And for this game we were getting some of them WRONG and making our character's lives more difficult. Thanks!

So glad these were helpful - thanks for the kind words!

[@lachiemcnair9547]

Really excellent description on all of the scenarios. I was really nervous teaching my already apprehensive girlfriend how to play but these videos made it so easy to follow. Loving the game so far! Thanks for the guides.

Rodney Smith, the best rulebook for board games. Every board game needs Rodney Smith explaining the rules. :D At 7:04. This is why I adore the game, you do not have to go hardcore on difficulty. You can just focus on completing the campaign story for a fun experience :D!! But finally, at 9:54. YES!!!! I do not need to use stickers after all XD!!!!!

Thanks Rodney, these videos have been super helpful in getting me up and running with JotL. Especially enjoyed the box twirl before putting the lid back on in this one 😀

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad they've been helpful Sam!

[@stevemayne24]

I've been playing base gloomhaven for a couple of years now and watching these videos has been fun and but the little tips, like putting the tokens on the trap, are going to enhance playing the base game so much. I'm starting to think about grabbing this just for stuff like that. That and my niece has asked me to play gloomhaven more than once and I've held off because of how massive it is. this may be the answer to that.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Steve, I think this version of the game might be perfect for that.

[@TheMexicanSuperman1]

"This is a more challenging scenario than the previous one " WHAT? My friends and I just did scenario 4 with 4 players and won on our final hands after 5 hours!!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well done - sounds like it was tense!

[@Rawwrbertz]

Is it any good?

[@scottsmartky]

Be warned. The campaign aka the actual game is the very, very, very last thing they're putting into the game. Right now, there are just a few modes of play that are nowhere near what people mean when they say Gloomhaven. And they may not get the campaign done in 2020. I'm waiting until it's days away from full release before I buy it because of that.

[@brianflansburg8934]

Only includes the starting classes plus one so not all my favorites but it is easier and quicker because you don't need to control monster focus and there's not the huge setup of Gloomhaven. Also these days it is harder to get gaming groups around the table.

[@valeriepeene818]

Hi Rodney, first of all, thanks for the very clear explanations! They’ve made it even more easy for us to play JOTL. We do have one remaining question which we can seem to figure out, hopefully you can help us: For example, the favorite card from hatchet, it shows 2XP gained written on the card (when performing part of the action). But how often does hatchet gain that XP, since it can remain active for the whole scenario? - every time part of the action is completed? (This seems overkill to us) - every time Hatchet (re-)uses the card from the start within the scenario. - only once per scenario Thanks a lot in any case! Val

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed the videos :) I do by best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. Just a heads up for most questions like this. In this case though, you get that XP just once the card has been played. For other card specific questions I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. Have fun playing!

[@valeriepeene818]

So I convinced my wife and my mother to play Gloomhaven JotL with me! I have had it for a while but haven’t had people to play with. I also have Gloomhaven which they will play with me when we are done with JotL. We are having a ton of fun playing! Both my wife and mother are doing great in the game! I’m the Red Guard to tank. My Wife is the Demolitionist. My mother is the Void Warden. Our son who is 10 plays Hatchet but he doesn’t have the patience to play all the time. But anyway, we just finished this scenario and it got pretty hairy as I went in for an attack and missed my attack and didn’t have shields available for my shield spikes. Got down to 2 health. We recovered and cleared that area. Got into the boss room and amazingly we killed the boss on our first turn after entering the room. My mothers last turn she was able to move me right next to the boss and the two zealots were moved forward one space from when we entered the room. I had first initiative. I had an upper attack for 3 +1 with using light that was infused, then pulled a -1. Also had a +3 attack on my lower part of the other card and pulled a +0 modifier. Boss down to 12 health plus I poison it. My second attack also hit the zealots. First one for 3 so it would heal the boss which removed the poison. My second attack I pulled my cancel modifier again so I missed my attack. No heals on the boss which was awesome. My wife moves up, attacks the boss for 3…down to 9 health. My mother had 3rd initiative. Moved up and granted a +5 attack for me and I pulled the 2x modifier for an attack of 10!! I couldn’t believe that we actually killed the boss on our first turn! I did this scenario with just my son and I a while ago and we had a much tougher time with the boss, so I was in even more shock when we beat the Blood Tumor on our first turn in the room!! Can’t wait to continue! This upcoming Friday, Cinco de Mayo is our next play session!!

When you level up, do you swap the level 2 card with one from your current hand, or just add it to your current hand? Thank you this video series was very helpful :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Don’t forget, you can only bring in as many cards to a scenario as your characters hand limit (you’ll find a reminder about this on the last video). So it’s not so much that you’re swapping the new one for any specific other one. You add the new card to your pool of “available” ability cards and then before the next scenario, pick as many as you want to use, up to your limit. Hope that helps!

[@bellabella327]

Glad you found it helpful! I'm not sure how many scenarios you play in a full campaign. Let us know if you find out!

Presumably the Blood Tumour cannot heal itself if it is Poisoned (whether directly, or indirectly via its minions getting injured)?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Correct.

Rodney, question for you. Are there any significant rule changes between the original Gloomhaven and Jaws of the Lion? I would like to use Jaws to introduce the family to Gloomhaven, but if the rules are different enough, I would rather buy the original outright. Any suggestions on this?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I never played the original, but I don't believe the rules are radically different from the bits I've picked up from reading online. That said, I really do think this has got to be the easier entry point, just based on how the box is set up, the maps are created, etc.

[@MrNuclearGuy]

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you, Rodney! I think this will be a pretty easy purchase then. Be well and stay safe.

We finished Jaws of the Lion and I just received the original Gloomhaven and I was readying the manual and see I can upgrade the cards with the stickers provided, if I use characters from Jaws in gloomhaven can I use the stickers with them?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I don't know if they are meant to be mixed in that way. That's something I would check the Jaws of the Lion rules for, as they talk about bringing characters into the main game.

This game is replayable?? Each time when I watch a video which introduce this one. I feel finishing full scenarios with same friend is difficult. because the game is too long. I think when play this with other who play this as beginner. I should start the game from first scenario. however, there are two equipments disturb replay. One is writing note for scoring. Second is a map where we paste sticker to show we cleared the scenarios. Replaying is worth thing for this game?? And I wish listen to your opinion that about Can I combine this with Gloomheaven or Frost heaven for play

[@WatchItPlayed]

The rules provide ways to add and remove people from the campaign as you need to (that information is in this video). And there are multiple copies of the character sheets. The map is just a cool visual - you can easily track all its information on a piece of paper when you're replaying. I think the game is VERY replayable, but I can't really know if you'd find it replayable, as it would depend on your personal preferences. For example, I wouldn't mind if I didn't have the map the second time through, but maybe you'd care very deeply about it.
