The benefits of discarding cards must also be weighed. Factors should include whether they can get a lot out of using the card at that moment and if they're close to the end of a scenario or not. The player will have to decide when it's a good time to burn their most powerful cards. If the player burns too many cards, they again may lose because of fatigue. If they don't pay attention to this, they may fail due to exhaustion. It is crucial to make sure the player brings enough cards with movement with them. This game mechanic should factor into the player's card choices. The top actions and bottom actions are designed so that players are usually able to do one attack and one move or defense effect. If the player decides to use the top action of the first card, then they must next apply the bottom action of the second card, or if they use the bottom action on the first card, then they must use the top action of the second card. During each turn in an encounter, players will choose two cards each character will use. Each card has a top action and a bottom action. Picking cards to take on a scenario is vital. The easiest way for the player to lose scenarios in Gloomhaven is by losing too many cards. Though, those familiar with the board game might choose to jump in the deep end and fare better. Generally speaking, beginners to the game should start on Normal and work their way up to the other difficulties. If the player chooses Insane, Adventure pathways are set to the Hardest difficulty. Selecting Hard only allows heroes to start with 25% additional health. The Normal setting allows for 25% fewer enemies, heroes start each scenario with +2 Blesses in their deck, the Adventure pathways are easy, and heroes have 25% more health. Game difficulty factors into a beginner's enjoyment of Gloomhaven on Steam.
