Play it if you…

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking direct battlefield control will hit a wall because the survival process is mediated through cards.
- Players who dislike repeated planning and memory demands may struggle when choosing how to use threats, resources, and other card types.
- Players looking for multiplayer play will not find a group mode, since the game is structured for solo play.
Our take on Frost
The bounce point arrives when several card types must be weighed together while anticipating the storm's pressure. Players who want direct action or dislike remembering interdependent choices may stop engaging at that decision-heavy survival layer.
What is Frost?
Frost is a solo survival card game about guiding a group of people across a cold, dangerous world while seeking the Refuge.
A giant storm moves around the globe, creating an ongoing threat. Resources, weapons, ideas, dangers, and regions are represented by cards, which must be used together with planning and memory. The game includes multiple difficulty settings, an endless mode, scenarios, unlockable cards, and characters with distinct abilities. Its structure draws on deck-building board games such as Dominion and Ascension. The pace is intended for individual play, with progress shaped by card choices and the need to anticipate changing survival pressures. Some illustrations may disturb younger players.
