About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to brave the cold of Valskyrr in Chronicles of Frost! 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.

You start with a modest deck and two unique quests, but the fun lies in evolving your hero. Acquire new ability cards, powerful items, and loyal allies to supercharge your deck. Want a stronger effect? Use your skill tokens or push your character to the limit to achieve glory. Combat against ruthless enemies is rewarding, and each victory brings you closer to becoming a legend.

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!
