Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game set before the events of Gloomhaven. It includes four new characters, the Valrath Red Guard (tank, crowd control), the Inox Hatchet (ranged damage), the Human Voidwarden (support, mind control) and the Quatryl Demolitionist (melee damage, manipulating obstacles), which can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game.

The game also contains 16 monster types (including seven new standard monsters and three new bosses) and a new campaign with 25 scenarios that invites the heroes to investigate a case of mysterious disappearances in the city. Is this the work of Vermlings, or is something far more sinister going on?
Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is aimed at a more casual audience, to get people into the gameplay faster. All the cardboard map tiles that were hard to organise have been removed. Instead, players play on the scenario book itself, which features new artwork unique to each scenario. The last hurdle to joining in, learning the game, has also been lowered with a simplified set of rules and a tutorial of five scenarios that introduce new players to the experience smoothly.
Nox explains it in the video below.
