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.

Got this with high hopes but melding your standard adventure game with deckbuilding doesn't produce as much fun as I would wish

An Ascension style deck-builder, buying cards from an open 10-card draft. But better, it has a map you need to move around (each location has discovery and end-turn-there benefits), enemies to kill, and multi-stage quests to do (go to these locations and spend stuff there). The problem is that the game has 4 currencies spread amongst the cards (resources, attack, move, draw), and with each card you need to choose whether to use just the top power for free or pay (with wounds) to use the additional bottom effect. This can generate significant downtime working through all the options. It's also complicated by the need to work out exactly which card(s) to buy. Given the pacey expectation set by the deckbuilder genre, you feel under constant pressure to hurry your turn (with resultant sub-optimal decisions) so that other players can get to their turns in a reasonable timeframe and enjoy the game. It's a dead shame because I liked pretty much everything else about the game. I'll start it off as a 7 as a 2p (as you can agree to take the time you need to enjoy it), with a drop in rating if playing with any more.
