Founders of Gloomhaven is a competitive tile-placement, hand management, city-building game where each player controls a fantastical race working to build the city of Gloomhaven and gain influence over its residents.

This is a stand-alone game set in the same universe as Gloomhaven. The events, however, take place hundreds of years before Gloomhaven and depict the original construction of the city.

In Founders of Gloomhaven, you use card-driven actions to place grow your resources and earn influence. An individual player, however, cannot do everything on their own, so you will have to work with the other founders.

The game also features an auction mechanic where you vote to determine what new building proposals come out and where they are placed on the board. These votes will determine which scoring opportunities are made available on the board and can drastically change the course of the game.
