Default Re: Gloomhaven (cross-pollinatable with GURPS etc.)

I am beginning to regret my mania for sleeving all the cards of every game I buy.

Gloomhaven has something like 800 small cards and 600 big cards.

I sleeved them all using Fantasy Flight Games' card sleeves. I ordered so many that the FLGS just brought out manufacturer-delivered boxes to me and sold them to me in bulk. (And of course, given FFG's acquisition and merger by Asmodee, the FFG card sleeves are no longer easy to get, so it's worthwhile unsleeving the stuff before I sell it off piecemeal.)

After three or four Gloomhaven gaming sessions, I have determined I've spent more time sleeving and unsleeving the cards than I have actually playing the game with them.

The miniatures are nice though, as are the cardboard standees and hex maps. A bit bigger in radius than GURPS, but they play along well enough with each other.

Edit: And my copy of Gloomhaven has been donated to my FLGS after being plundered for GURPS parts (miniatures and hex map tiles, mostly). My FLGS can use it for spare parts in its own games, especially as I never used the sticker sheets.
