Quick answer
The Gloomhaven Removable Sticker Set uses vinyl stickers that peel off cleanly without damaging your board or cards. With careful removal and storage, you can reuse them for multiple campaigns instead of buying a new set each time.

Why reuse stickers?
The Gloomhaven Removable Sticker Set is designed for players who want to reset their game or resell it later. Reusing the stickers between campaigns saves money and reduces waste. The vinyl material is durable enough to withstand several applications if handled gently.
Steps to reuse your Gloomhaven removable stickers
- Peel slowly from a corner: Use your fingernail or a plastic spudger to lift a corner of the sticker. Pull back gently at a low angle, keeping the sticker flat. Avoid yanking straight up, which can stretch the vinyl. Common mistake: pulling too fast causes the sticker to curl or lose adhesion.
- Place on a clean, smooth surface: Immediately stick the removed sticker onto a sheet of parchment paper, wax paper, or the original backing sheet if you kept it. Press down lightly so it stays flat but can be lifted later. Checkpoint: avoid dusty or textured surfaces—lint and crumbs ruin the adhesive.
- Store stickers in a cool, dry place: Keep the sheet of removed stickers inside a ziplock bag or between the pages of a book. Heat and humidity can weaken the adhesive over time. Verdict: stored properly, the stickers should remain usable for at least two or three full campaign resets.
- Clean the game board before reapplying: Wipe the board or card surface with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or oil. Do not use water, alcohol, or cleaners—they can damage the printed artwork. Common mistake: applying over residue from a previous sticker can cause the new placement to lift.
- Reapply with firm, even pressure: Position the sticker carefully, then press from the center outward using your thumb or a soft cloth. Rub the entire surface to ensure full contact. Next step: let the sticker sit for a few minutes before handling the board to let the adhesive bond.
