About X-haven Assistant

An unofficial helper app for the boardgames Gloomhaven, Frosthaven, Crmson Scales and other campaigns in the same family of boardgames. The aim is to be a good replacement for the Gloomhaven Helper by Esoteric Software that is no longer available. The focus is on good user experience, and to be like a boardgame component rather than a typical material style app. That means most of the functionality will be in one single screen, which makes it seem slightly busy at first glance, but is really necessary to minimize need for user input which is a key factor to good UX for a boardgame component.

Necessary!

Can’t say enough good things about this app! Was a MUST with my gaming group and is a MUST with my 8 year old son! Keeping track of monsters, loot (especially in FH), turn order, conditions/health/experience was, in my opinion, necessary to truly enjoy the game. Now it’s even more helpful being able to keep track of players’ decks and being able to add perks for each deck (not to mention curse/blessing cards). It literally creates so much extra space at the table and helps streamline the whole setup and tear down process so much that players can actually enjoy the gaming experience. I have always been a purist for games and try not to include apps unless it’s required and integrated in the game itself but this is the exception for me because without it, I just end up not playing it. I have three little boys so setting this game up and tearing it down is something I couldn’t do in this season of life historically but with this app I can! I am playing JOTL with my 8 year old right now. We did the first few scenarios without the app so he could grasp the math involved and learn how the game operates but now we have moved on to the app and it allows us to set it up and tear down in the evening with minimal effort. All I can say to the creators of this app is a huge “THANK YOU!” I’m sure I’m not the only one that has experienced this, but personally, without you making this app I don’t think I would have kept playing these games which would have been really sad considering I went all in on GH, FH, and JOTL. Thanks for your passion and implementation for this app. The game developers owe you a huge thank you as well because I don’t think they would have as many players without this app. It being free shows the value you have for, not only this game, but the community of people who love and play these games. Absolutely fantastic and highly appreciated!

Required for Solo Play

At first, I was skeptical of using an app and went through the first few scenarios without it. Then I gave this one a shot and good grief has it reduced the amount of set up and time required to play the game itself. What a fantastic app and the fact that it is free makes it must have for anyone playing this game. I’ve been able to play solo with four characters thanks to it. IF there was one thing that could be improved, it might be the ability to track completion, but honestly that feels like a minor gripe. Can’t say enough good things about this.
