The first real Amazon Prime Day deal on a board game has arrived. Amazon has just dropped the price of the popular Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion board game to only $19.99, down a whopping 60% off from its original $50 MSRP. The lowest price we've seen before today was for $26.66 back in February of this year. This is a legitimate deal.
Gloomhaven: Jaw of the Lion Board Game
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is Celopahir Games' followup release to the hugely successful Gloomhaven board game. It offers a similar gameplay experience to the original and far more daunting Gloomhaven but it's been condensed to make the game more accessible to casual players; that means a simpler rule set, a more developed tutorial, and fewer overall pieces on the board. You're still playing a cooperative campaign that emphasizes tactical combat and RPG-stye character building.
Now if you think "condensed" means that Jaws of the Lion doesn't pack as much value, you'd be wrong. For a mere $49.99 $19.99, you're getting 6+ pounds of cardboard goodness. And although this game is less intimidating than original, it's still a lot more complex than your typical board game, and you'll have a relatively steep learning curve to look forward to. If you're a fan of this board game genre, and you've shied away from Gloomhaven because of its price and involvement, then there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't get in on this deal.
If you need even more convincing, check out our Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion review from earlier in the year. It's totally worth it.
