Frosthaven

Frosthaven delivers an epic campaign of tactical combat and persistent progression in a frozen frontier settlement. Players cooperatively battle through branching scenarios using unique mercenary characters with evolving ability decks, managing hand cards for movement, attacks, and special powers. Between missions, the town-building meta-game creates meaningful decisions about resource allocation, building construction, and crafting upgrades. Combat feels like solving brutal puzzles—enemies move predictably, but optimal positioning and card sequencing demand intense planning. The satisfaction comes from mastering your character's synergies, unlocking new classes, and watching your settlement transform. Tension peaks when forced to rest and lose cards permanently, creating nail-biting endurance races. The legacy-style campaign spans 100+ hours with story branching, character retirement, and unlockable content that rewards persistence. It's demanding, deeply strategic, and phenomenally rewarding for groups seeking a long-term cooperative adventure with genuine consequences.
