This deck-building adventure game lets you and up to three friends (or just you, if you prefer!) dive into a dark fantasy universe called Æstemyr. The mission? Face the threats spawned by the mysterious Mists, which transform the land and conjure terrifying monsters. Every game is a new journey, with a board that changes each time thanks to modular tiles, ensuring exploration is always surprising.

Manage your deck wisely, retiring unwanted cards into your 'personal chronicle,' where they can yield more fame at the end. With a playtime of around 80 minutes, Chronicles of Frost offers an engaging competitive or cooperative experience, perfect for those who enjoy a good challenge in a world full of danger and magic. It's time to write your own frosty saga!
