The land of Valskyrr needs its heroes once again! Only those with true skill and resolve can brave the ever changing icy paths and monstrosities spawned by the nefarious power of the Mists. Fell mighty enemies, explore and shape the land, embark on quests, write your own chronicle, and become a legend in a world of dark sorcery and peril. Will you answer the call to adventure?
Chronicles of Frost is a deck-building adventure game set in Æstemyr, a dark fantasy universe rich in its own lore, shared by Mistfall, Heart of the Mists and Shadowscape.
Start with two unique quests and a small deck, and improve your character by gaining new ability cards, items and allies. Unlock each card’s more powerful effect by using skill tokens or by exerting your character to push ever further on your way to becoming a legend. Face ruthless enemies and reap the rewards of your victories. Explore and build the world, creating a new map every time you play, and use the special abilities of locations to your benefit. Manage your deck by retiring cards into your personal chronicle, where they will yield more fame at the end of the game.
Face up to three opponents in a new competitive adventure game (or brave the frozen wilds cooperatively), playable in 80 minutes, and write the chronicle of your hero.

Quick easy set up, a good filler with just enough depth to be interesting while waiting to get into something bigger. Limited stretch goals were not included but publishers took responsibility and problem will be addressed soon.

Solid deckbuilding game, with an interesting twist: you move on a map while trying to resolve your quests. I'm not convinced by the event deck (this is an optional module) or by the expansion, however.

My biggest regret here is not getting the expansion, and wishing I heard anything other than radio silence from the publisher. Other than that, I really enjoy this game. (Edit: I was able to order the expansion from Funagain Games.) A great addition to their Mistfall universe, CoF takes deckbuilding and cardplay in a direction of exploration and character development I can get behind. You have choices on how you want to gain VP, and the quests are multilayered, which adds welcomed depth and story elements. Rulebook is mostly clear, as are the icons, and the game plays smooth. You get a lot of value out of your time and effort; definitely check it out.
