Out of the Tinkerer's 31 cards (reminder: 12 in a session), there are three tiers of frequency: I feel like breaking down the numbers and looking at the Tinkerer's actions from a distance, before looking at each unique instance, gives a sense of how he functions. Added to this, if you need to shunt damage to a card, he's got a lot of them, so can take more damage than he looks like he should, if absolutely necessary. The Tinkerer is pretty tough (but, in accordance with the above, not especially so). I can get away with calling that reference "classic" and not sound dated, right? * At the time of writing, for whatever an internet poll with a decent sample size is worth, BoardGameGeek's describes the Tinkerer as the most disliked starting class (by more than the two next choices combined) and half as liked as the next-most-liked class.

Remember to take full advantage of not needing to survive scenarios: It's often better to go out in a blaze of glory with the Tinkerer than to wait around 2 extra turns, really stretching those okay actions.
GLOOMHAVEN TINKERER HOW TO
So, you can think of it like a class guide, or like a guide to how to play the class in a new way. So, this might not match with your experience or play style, but the below is based on my playing the Tinkerer as one of my party's more valuable offensive characters. One final caveat before getting started: Looking around the internet, I believe I play the Tinkerer far more aggressively than most do. But, I find them immensely rewarding to play once I understand them, so I thought I'd share some thoughts on Gloomhaven's least-loved class.*Īlso, there will be class-related spoilers, because, well, what did you expect? It's a strategy guide. In short, they're tricky and don't tend to be very spectacular, and are often even moderately flawed in their design, since even the designers need to go in without such an obvious direction and that can mean a class doesn't run well, or doesn't run well within the intended role. These classes and characters tend to be devalued, specifically because they're not very straightforward: They're not tough enough to be the tank they're not strong enough to be a glass cannon in this case, the Tinkerer doesn't even have enough support to be dedicated support. I've learned, over the years, that I very often gravitate towards generalists that neither excel at one thing nor do they ever really lack a tool. You don't even have to tell the player what to do, but rather force him to try the things that work first in a simplistic way before of releasing the kraken.Note: the Tinkerer's summons are based on some of Wyrd's old Arcanist models. But it is what defines a good game from a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one. It takes time, it must be crafted very careful and meticulous, yes. Designing the tutorial is part of any videogame.
GLOOMHAVEN TINKERER MANUAL
It is not that I cannot learn the game, is that PEOPLE should't be forced to read a manual to learn how to play a digital product.
Just go see twilight struggle or through the ages tutorials, maybe even terraforming mars.
Not in an era where there are thousands of people actually caring for their products. Buying an IP and releasing a "game" without taking the time to make a tutorial is one of those thing I will not abide. I was hoping to buy this game, but a long time ago i made myself a promise to never support economically to companies with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ practices. I do not own gloomhaven, nor will I buy it since it cost a fortune to be delivered at my country(like 600 usd). I would never, ever publish a game with an unfinished tutorial. Pfister is my favourite designer, specially GWT, not exactly a lightweight.īut I am both a developer and aspiring game designer. i play boardgames, like hundreds of them.
