## Overview

Frosthaven is a standalone, legacy-style tactical RPG board game featuring over 130 scenarios, 17 unique mercenary characters, and a card-driven combat system. Designed for deep cooperative play, it offers rich storytelling and strategic resource management in a harsh, immersive fantasy world. Compatible with Gloomhaven, it promises years of evolving gameplay for dedicated groups.

## Description

Frosthaven is the story of a small outpost far to the north of the capital city of White Oak, an outpost barely surviving the harsh weather as well as invasions from forces both known and unknown. There, a group of mercenaries at the end of their rope will help bring back this settlement from the edge of destruction. Not only will they have to deal with the harsh elements, but there are other, far more dangerous threats out in the unforgiving cold as well. There are Algox, the bigger, more yeti-like cousins of the Inox, attacking from the mountains; Lurkers flooding in from the northern sea; and rumors of machines that wander the frozen wastes of their own free will. The party of mercenaries must face all of these perils, and perhaps in doing so, make peace with these new races so they can work together against even more sinister forces. Frosthaven is a standalone adventure from the designer and publisher of Gloomhaven that features sixteen new characters, three new races, more than twenty new enemies, more than one hundred new items, and a new, 100-scenario campaign.

Review: Jump in if you think you can handle it! - This is one of the top games on BGG for a reason! My group and I finished Jaws of the Lion and moved directly to this. While I don’t have a ton of encounters under my belt, I do have enough to know that I am in love with this game! The added complexity to the town activities is definitely fiddly, but it adds an entire facet to a game that already has so much! The way that the unboxing is controlled and instructed, the ease of use in the manual, the incredible concepts of characters, and the improved writing of the story are all great. This game is definitely a monster. It is not for the feint of heart and should not be taken lightly. If you’re looking to get into the franchise you should play Jaws of the Lion first! Even if you know you’ll like Frosthaven, you should treat Jaws as a very long and very excellent tutorial. You’ll spend a lot of time playing Jaws, for sure, but you’ll roll into Frosthaven knowing the game mechanics and will be ready for the mountain of incredibly brilliant fiddliness to come! This game is insanely good and I would highly recommend it for anyone with the time and a group of friends that’s willing to knock it out. Just be aware that if you jump in to this Willy-nilly, you may get overwhelmed very quickly and keep it as a dust collecting ornament on your shelf forever (since it’ll be too heavy to remove).
Review: Amazing! - I have never seen such an intricate, beautifully designed game. We'd finished playing Gloomhaven; Jaws of the Lion, and I expected this to simply be a continuation of that game (which I also highly recommend, especially before playing Frosthaven) - but it's so much more than that! Really complex play + varied scenarios + well made game pieces. We play as a family - our precocious 13 year old is obsessed with it, but it's too complex for our 8 year old to play as an independent character. However, the modular and scenario-based format means that she can bring a character into the game when she's ready. We have it set up on a large game table basically permanently, since we enjoy it so much; however, you can repack it if that's not feasible. We also play in short bursts - say, a round or two before bed. You don't have to complete the scenarios each time if you can keep the set up in place. Be warned: we had to upgrade our game table size for this - with our set-up, we easily need 9+ sq. ft (current table is 36 x 42 and it still feels cramped!) This was an extremely good "investment" - it will bring great family bonding time for probably the next decade!

## Features

- Epic Campaign Experience: Dive into an immersive cooperative campaign with over 130 scenarios, featuring branching storylines, character progression, and impactful decisions that shape your journey.

- Innovative Combat System: Engage in tactical, turn-based combat with card-driven actions and unique modifier decks for each class.
- Rich Storytelling: Explore a dark and immersive world where every action has consequences. Uncover secrets, forge alliances, and confront fierce enemies in the frozen tundra of Frosthaven.
- Fully Compatible with Gloomhaven: You can easily integrate Frosthaven’s characters into the original Gloomhaven or Jaws of the Lion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is this product $500?  Are you planning to sell at a reasonable price for a board game that people could afford?**
A: As of 2/12/23, they still haven't finished filling all Kickstarter orders. As a result, the only people selling it are those that have received their Kickstarter pledge.

The retail for the base Frosthaven game is $250. Rather than waste your money here while this is the limited supply price of ~$500, call your local game stores and see if they have a copy. They usually will sell it for retail (or less right now since they paid less than that for their pledge). If not, just wait until it's available for retail (might still be in 2023, might not be until 2024).

If you haven't yet, buy Jaws of the Lion or Gloomhaven while you wait. There's hundreds of hours of similar gameplay in those games, and mostly everything you learn from those will be applicable once you get Frosthaven.

**Q: Q to the seller,: Is this the first or the second printing?**
A: There’s no second printing of Frosthaven yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love love this game
*by T***M on February 2, 2024*

We bought this for ourselves as a Christmas present and we both love it. This game is not for the casual gamer - it is extensive setup, tons of rules, a play style that is unique to this game (unless you played their first game Gloomhaven which we did not) and a story that will take months to play through. We will likely be at this all year. But it is aaaaallllll worth it. We are just loving it. There are many YouTube videos out there that fans have made that help explain the rules and an extensive rulebook that really does a good job of addressing every possible scenario. Also we found videos of players who video their game play so that you can watch them actually play which was helpful when we came to a place in the scenario where we felt stuck or didn’t understand something. Such a great game and for the amount of hours of fun we will have definitely worth every penny.
