After playing Gloomhaven, I really can't go back to these types of boardgames. Looks thematically cool of course.
Edit: If anyone is interested, it's on sale at Amazon for 99.00 (29% Off).
Gloomhaven summary:
>Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for traveling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process, they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make.
Amazon has it on sale for $100 CAD which is even cheaper than $85 USD accounting for exchange rate.
Gloomhaven $86 on Amazon

Amazon has it for $95. A tad more expensive but worth to mention in case Amazon works better for someone.
You're a little late to this party.
CamelCamelCamel is the site you want to see price history of individual items on Amazon.
If you have a friendly local game store I highly suggest checking their price out and buying locally. My FLGS has Gloomhaven for $119.99 when it is in stock, cheaper than Amazon, and I get to help keep my local store in business.
Warning: DO NOT PRE-ORDER THIS ON AMAZON RIGHT NOW.
All the shady re-sellers are doing exactly what they did during the KS campaign. They mark-up the game way above MSRP and have a completely bogus shipping date that loosely coincides with estimates from the publishers. Amazon does not hold re-sellers accountable for the illegitimate shipping dates they push in order to generate pre-orders.
Start with your FLGS and set up a notification on FunAgain, Cool Stuff or Miniature Market just in case you can't get it locally. Don't support bullshit scalpers on Amazon.
Gloomhaven has been available on Amazon's US store for $90-$110 for many many months now.
Not sure about international availability, 300 euros (~$340) is insane.
I was thinking more about this whole thing in general, not just your hideout.
I mean look at this, https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/hideout-decorations#microtransaction-HideoutTransformer
Thats 5$
https://www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/hideout-decorations#microtransaction-HideoutArcaneThrone
Thats 25$. If i check Amazon for stuff below 25$ i can find some real nice and usefull stuff, so using that for a piece of my hideout that i can even interact with feels like.. idk. You could invest into Pandemic with its current discount. You are also half way into Pandemic Legacy which is super good. With its current discount its even 25% of a copy of Gloomhaven which has easily over 100 hours of content.
I get the expensive armor and semi-expensive skill effects, since you see them, in theory, all the time but a weird chair in your hideout that you cant sit in? I dont know how i could justify that when i compare it to some of the boardgames i have on my shelf (given, those games are on discount currently, but still.)
Looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01LZXVN4P/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1542601890&sr=1-1&keywords=gloomhaven&condition=new , if you buy the one that's listed as sold BY "Amazon.com" that one is pretty much guaranteed legit.
​
On that list, the seller named "NYC Collectibles", formerly known as "Brooklyn Toys", is a known scammer. I don't know anything about the others, but most of them are more expensive than the one sold directly by Amazon, so...
[edit] yeah, the one sold directly by Amazon is also the cheapest one on the list, as well as being the safest to buy from. The one that LOOKS cheaper than amazon has shipping marked as costing some ridiculous amount, they're doing the trick where they display a cheap price for the product and a huge price for the shipping.
Gloomhaven
Gloomhaven is half price: Gloomhaven https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZXVN4P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-Rr4DbJ37Y5Z9
Even so.. Might have to hold off for a bit.. because... shipping.
Just get it on Amazon for $120
Gloomhaven Board Game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZXVN4P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7NSrzb7QFPMSR
Yeah, that would be the "or something like that" section. 99% of people are going to go to Amazon and search Gloomhaven and get this response, which will be all second edition:

> Gloomhaven is $99 msrp i think
Gloomhaven was $99 USD including delivery via KS.
MSRP its $119 USD when its in stock:
https://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/233739 (sold out)
Which highlights my point that even popular games go out of print and then suddenly prices skyrocket.
You can find it on Amazon for closer to $200 now.
https://www.amazon.com/Cephalofair-Games-CPH0201-Gloomhaven-Board/dp/B01LZXVN4P but while its out of availability prices go up.
For those asking why its so expensive, there is a ton of shit in that box

$140 on Amazon, just above $100 if you have prime
Last Week Tonight is my usual go to for fun during these interesting times. Yes, it's a bit cliche, John Oliver attempting to do a Jon Stewart and doing it maybe 80% well, but he has the largest budget out of most of these 'fun political talk shows.' Last week he even rightfully brings up how we should be concerned with Assange's arrest (only available through HBO). In conjuction with the Mueller Report, it paints an interesting picture of how the Trump administration may use Assange to attempt to cover-up certain issues.
I'm interested in Patriot Act covering the report, they do a fairly respectable job at covering the important issues much like John Oliver, but with a more modern appeal. Not slighting the presentation of LWT, just the format is somewhat dated.
There's also Some More News. Since moving on from Cracked, I feel Cody has really come into his own, but it lacks the involvement with the community if you don't also listen to the podcast. It presents itself more like a traditional news production.
Legal Eagle has been a great gem to find. A real lawyer who presents his opinion in an easily digestible manner? IANAL, but it helps give the layman an understanding from a point of view that isn't necessarily entertained when going over stuff like this.
This weekend though, my group is getting together to do two things:
First, watching Arrival then watching Philosophy Tube's presentation on democracy for a follow-up. Oliver Thorn uses Arrival as a tangent to discuss Democracy as it relates not only to Brexit, but existentially as well.
Then the next day we're looking to do another scenario or two from Gloomhaven. I liken it to "DnD meets Monopoly," so your mileage may vary. If you're interested in a copy Amazon currently has it on sale for 30% off in the US. And seriously, get the removable stickers, they're worth the price.
Lastly, I might fool around in Assassin's Creed: Unity which Ubisoft are giving out for free following the Notre Dame fire. The game comes with all relevant story DLC, so they aren't banking on cataclysm capitalism to make a buck, although you do need to register with Uplay to be able to get it and run it. Plus it might be cathartic to play through a rendition of the French revolution after this week.
I hope everyone gets rest and some time to go over the Mueller Report themselves, as these coming weeks are going to be much more dense. The trolls are only going to get worse leading up to primaries and the election, so prepare yourself for disinformation by getting your information from the source!
I suggest you check out Gloomhaven, as it requires no DungeonMaster and can be played with any number of players between 1 and 4. It also is only 100$ currently on Amazon.
That mother fucker is $215 on Amazon!

Amazon, I guess.
I never bought it. I had a friend that owned it and we played at his house.
It shows as $103 at Amazon right now: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZXVN4P/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ApfSDbX8T2KDF
Very possible that it will be further discounted for holiday sales over the next few months.
I assume you have seen the news about Gloomhavem: Subtitle it will be coming out next fall in the $50 range and provide an easier entry into Gloomhavem. That might be a way to get some friends hooked if you can wait that long. 😉
Heard good things about Gloomhaven there is a good discount here
now yours for only $103If you are fine waiting for it to be back in stock.Edit: apparently back to full price.
I'm happy to see it at reasonable prices. It's also £120 on amazon.co.uk vs the £170 it was before the recent printing got distributed. £120 is also the price I paid and holy shit was it worth every penny.
I bought mine off amazon (US version) for 160 $ USD 2 month ago. Now it's even cheaper :

It's still on Amazon.
Is this the right link?
Right now it is at $214.99 + $25 shipping :(
It's been popping up on various sites the past few days (e.g: Cardhaus, CoolStuffInc, 401 Games), with stock running out very quickly. Amazon is still taking pre-orders if you don't mind paying the full MSRP.
