Addax Games Go From Gloomhaven To Rove, Their New Adventure
June 22, 2022 by brennon
The team from Addax Games cut their teeth on a pretty impressive project, Crimson Scales, the unofficial expansion to Gloomhaven (endorsed by Isaac Childres!). They are now turning their attention to a brand new game that will be on Kickstarter soon, Rove.

Addax Games has been working on Rove for a while and whilst there isn't a lot of detail about the game just yet, it has been doing the rounds at shows like Origins. The game will be a one-to-four-player affair in a big box, similar to the way Gloomhaven has been presented. Set in its own Fantasy universe, the team has also brought on board Gloomhaven artist Alexandr Elichev to bring the various characters to life.

Players will dive into an unfolding narrative campaign and play through encounters in the wilderness using strategic and tactical turn-based gameplay. It's currently ticking a lot of boxes when it comes to being a neat project inspired by the approach Gloomhaven took to the dungeon-delving formula.

The game is certainly embracing a unique and interesting art style which is always neat to see when it comes to a game. Sometimes you want to step away from the classic Dwarf, Elf, Orc combinations that we in other games.
As mentioned, the game has been seeing a few outings at conventions recently. I am currently onboard! If it feels like Gloomhaven but with enough to make it unique, I can't see myself not liking the gameplay mechanics.

There isn't much more on Rove currently but it will be fascinating to see what comes up next. We've yet to even see a BoardGameGeek page for this game! At least (from what we see here) a lot of the design work has been done!
Are you going to be keeping an eye on Rove's development?

I think the figures will be great if they are as good as the concept art is.
Maybe?
I kind of look at this art and think they could easily end up with some really static poses.
Figures? If it’s like GH, the only figures will be the characters and will only need to be acceptable. That said, CS has resin figures, so hunting down pics of them can give a hint of what the figures will look like. And it’s gonna be the usual pain of proxying the standees. KS will be in late 2022, but I think that’s also the time GH will have its (upgraded) miniatures campaign, which will include ordering Frosthaven. Glad to see Crimson Scales endorsed by Isaac! Couldn’t find info if he approved of the fan content. And it’s free to… Read more »
