Mercenaries Wanted: Cephalofair’s New Gloomhaven Card Game Recruiting Mercs

Cephalofair Games is preparing a new card game set in the Gloomhaven universe, with Mercenaries Wanted slated for release later this year. The game tasks you with building a lucrative mercenary roster—then deciding who sticks around as your team evolves between rounds.

Mercenaries Wanted: mercenary recruitment and roster decisions

In Mercenaries Wanted, you play as the leader of a company of mercenaries. Your job is to recruit characters to carry out assigned missions, with the goal of earning as much gold as possible.

Between rounds, you’ll make key management choices: which mercenaries to keep in your squad, who to promote, and who to let go—shaping your team as the campaign progresses.

• Players: 1–6
• Play time: 30–60 minutes

Release window and platform expectations

At the moment, the title has only been announced for an English-language release. A wider regional rollout and additional language support aren’t confirmed yet.

What to watch next

With only an end-of-year announcement so far, players will likely want more details on the full rule set and how recruitment, promotions, and cuts impact mission outcomes. Future updates should also clarify whether the game will expand beyond English at launch.
