Frosthaven

Survive the frozen frontier — fight, build, and uncover ancient threats in a merciless world.

Frosthaven tells the tale of a struggling northern outpost on the brink of collapse. Besieged by howling winters, monstrous creatures, and eerie machines lost to time, only a desperate band of mercenaries stands between survival and oblivion. From the same creative force behind Gloomhaven, this standalone board game challenges you to rebuild Frosthaven, weather seasonal dangers, and forge unexpected alliances with new and mysterious races. Can your party defend the outpost and unearth the secrets buried beneath the ice?

With a deep 100-scenario campaign, powerful new characters, and mechanics that extend far beyond combat, Frosthaven offers an immersive tabletop adventure like no other. As you battle Algox, Lurkers, and wandering automatons, you’ll also manage resources, construct new buildings, and solve age-old mysteries in a world where every decision shapes your journey.

Gameplay Overview

Frosthaven uses the acclaimed tactical combat engine from Gloomhaven, but adds extensive world-building and non-combat systems. Players take on the role of mercenaries who fight through modular scenarios while managing their outpost between missions. New characters, items, and enemies introduce diverse tactics, while the introduction of seasonal changes and a crafting economy adds dynamic depth. Survive the cold, grow your village, and uncover a plot darker than frost.
