Gloomhaven: Jaws of the LionLike its famous predecessor, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a dungeon crawler where players work together as a group of mercenaries, the titular Jaws of the Lion, to complete increasingly difficult scenarios. Anyone who has played a fantasy computer game, or D&D, will recognise the format: Enter the lair of increasingly tougher monsters, fight them, loot treasure and defeat the Boss.

Like its famous predecessor, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a dungeon crawler where players work together as a group of mercenaries, the titular Jaws of the Lion, to complete increasingly difficult scenarios. Anyone who has played a fantasy computer game, or D&D, will recognise the format: Enter the lair of increasingly tougher monsters, fight them, loot treasure and defeat the Boss. In addition to the usual skull-bashing and spell-slinging chaos that you would expect from a fantasy game, Gloomhaven added an ingenious element of hand management to the mix. This means that players need to carefully manage their dwindling action cards and items or risk defeat through exhaustion before the scenario ends. Some actions are quicker than others and some are one use "big hitters" which need to be deployed sparingly. Other actions are reliant on specific Elements being present in the

atmosphere to be more effective, leading to interesting synergies to be discovered with your teammates. It's a puzzle that needs a combination of strategy, cunning and a little bit of luck. There is also a healthy dose of competition thrown into the cooperative mix as players earn more experience from gold they pick up along the way and have their own individual secret goals which may not always benefit the mission at hand. It's a heady mix of theme and strategy which has helped Gloomhaven retain the position of number one game on Board Game Geek since ts release in 2016. In Jaws of the Lion, this winning system remains the backbone of the game, but has been streamlined to ease new players into the world and help the action flow better than in the original game. Players of Gloomhaven will immediately notice some differences in Jaws that are designed to help beginners find their feet quickly. Firstly, all four characters in Jaws feel strong and interesting from the very first scenario. Meaning that when you start playing, you feel like your character is a hero- in-waiting rather than an elderly relative in danger of collapsing if a skeleton warrior sneezes on you. Secondly, the first five scenarios are tutorials designed to introduce players gradually to the rules and themes of the game. By level five they will know all of the mechanics within the scenarios and also how to level up characters, purchase items and improve their chances of survival next time. Thirdly, the rules themselves are pared down from the main game meaning there is less Upkeep involved. Trickier elements such as Summoning and rolling modifiers have been removed to make gameplay feel more like an adventure, and less like a bookkeeping exercise when the enemies are piling on.

Perhaps the biggest improvement, however, is in the physical layout of the game. Jaws does away with the multiple map tiles that make Gloomhaven, and many other dungeon crawler games for that matter, so fiddly to set up and instead uses the scenario books themselves as a playing board. Turn to the correct page, put your models on the start spaces and you are pretty much ready to go. Additional features are still required, such as removable terrain, and enemy standees, but it makes set up and tear down very straightforward.

Jaws of the Lion is still a big game and will require a time commitment from players to get the most out of it, as with all "Legacy" games. However, it can be played solo or by up to four players and the difficulty scales easily to each different player count, changing the number and toughness of monsters during the setup, so if a player needs to dip out of the game at points, the others can still complete the campaign.

Jaws is a smaller box than Gloomhaven but is still packed with different components, feature tiles, enemy card decks, standees and secret boxes yet it doesn't feel overwhelming. Instead, it all adds a sense of genuine anticipation to the Campaign. As for the Story in the game, this has also been streamlined, stripping away the often confusing, branching quests within quests that could make Gloomhaven a headache to follow. Jaws of the Lion concentrates on moving players along with the story rather than encouraging exploration for the sake of it, but what you lose in freedom is gained in urgency and impetus to see how the story unfolds. Which is how an adventure should feel. Jaws of the Lion is still challenging, although you can increase the difficulty level at any time if ever it feels too easy, but is never a slog to get through. Reaching the end of the game is a realistic goal but still a genuine achievement. For anyone who has ever considered getting into Gloomhaven, or just wondered what the fuss is about, Jaws of a Lion is a must-buy. And with Frosthaven, the full-sized sequel to Gloomhaven, just around the corner, now is as good a time as any to dip your toe into this genuinely exciting and original world.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Great pillow, but the cooling effect depends on the cover
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
I really like this pillow overall. It’s comfortable, supportive, and feels well made. When you use it without a pillowcase, it definitely feels cool to the touch and does what it claims in terms of that initial cooling sensation. However, once you put a pillowcase on it, you can’t really feel the cooling effect anymore. I’ve tried multiple different pillowcases made from different materials, and none of them really let that cool feeling come through. That said, I still love the pillow itself. It’s comfortable and supportive enough that I’m keeping it. Just keep in mind that the cooling feature works best without a cover, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Overall, a good pillow — just manage expectations about the cooling effect once it’s covered.

Best Pillow Ever
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Best pillow ever. Although it still gets "hot", it does take longer to get "hot". I love this pillow. I was buying a new pillow almost every 3 months. Other pillows would either remain rock hard or go flat. I was concerned at first when reading the description as I though the memory foam would be big pieces. They are soft fluffy pieces. I had to remove almost half of the foam to get the pillow to what works for me. I have not had to put any filler back in. Maybe in a couple of more months I may have to put a bit more in, but it is holding it's shape and not going flat. I do fluff it every night. This helps. I am a stomach sleeper. I have bought the expensive purple pillow and hated it so much I gave it to my daughter. This QUTOOL Pillow is the best! I bought a 2 pack. Have not used the other pillow yet, but I feel I may actually go years for once without having to buy a pillow as I have the 2nd one set aside if the first one gets to a point in need replacement. I have bought Dollar Store pillows. I have bought $300 pillows. None of them even come close to this pillow and the way you can adjust this pillow for you. The pillows came in a white mesh like bag. I keep all the unused "stuffing" in this bag. I have it hanging in my closet and I just fluff the bag once a month to keep the filling fresh so it is ready if and when I need it. Coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep, neck issues, a stomach sleeper who hate those flat pillows manufacturers think stomach sleepers like but actually hate, buy this pillow. Just buy it. Best Pillow for a picky person like me. Buy 2 or more so if you have to stay at a hotel, you can take your own pillow.
