Frostgrave is 'miniature agnostic,' meaning you can use any miniatures you have. The fun is in the rules and strategy, not in specific miniatures that come in the box (because they don't!). ### Is the game in Portuguese? The box and core rules come in English. While some resources might offer translations, playing the game itself requires reading English. If you're not comfortable with English, it might be a challenge. ### How many players can play? You can play with 2 to 8 people. Typically, each player controls a wizard and their warband, so larger groups can lead to more chaotic and fun games. ### How long does a game session take? A game session usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours. This can vary depending on player experience and the chosen scenario. ### Is it very complicated to learn? The game's complexity is considered medium (2.62/5 on BGG). The basic rules are accessible, but the tactical depth and warband customization options might require some dedication to master. ### Who will enjoy this game the most? Players who enjoy fantasy settings, collect or use miniatures, like tactical games with RPG elements, and don't mind the need to read English.
