The wildly popular Gloomhaven board game has sold roughly 120,000 copies, IGN learned from creator Isaac Childres at Gen Con 2018.

Gloomhaven, which was our favorite board game of 2017 and is currently the highest rated board game of all time on BoardGameGeek, has been notoriously hard to get since it first launched in 2016. There have been three different printing runs so far and they’ve all sold out practically as soon as they released, despite the fact that the regular price is a whopping $140.

Childres confirmed to IGN that the third printing is now pretty much gone too. He said that there may still be some copies hiding in retail stores, and it’s miraculously available on Amazon right now, but the three printing runs combine to a total of roughly 120,000 copies, all of which have been distributed and nearly all of which have been nabbed since.

Hope is on the way for those who haven’t managed to find it yet, as Childres says a fourth print with another 60,000 copies is currently in the works. The goal is to have them be out in stores by Christmas-time this year. It's not hard to imagine that the sales number would be even higher if they weren't limited by Gloomhaven's hefty production time.
