How co-op works

Online players share one persistent campaign, mercenary party, and outpost. During each hex-grid round, every character selects two ability cards, combining one top and one bottom action; the group coordinates initiative, positioning, elements, summons, and limited card endurance across complementary classes.

About this game

Frosthaven is a dark fantasy tactical RPG adapted from Isaac Childres' award-winning board game, delivering intricate turn-based combat and long-term campaign progression in both single-player and online co-op modes. Teams work together to survive brutal encounters, manage resources, and build a growing outpost on the edge of civilization.

Gameplay revolves around hex-grid battles where positioning, card selection, and careful resource management determine success or failure. Each mercenary brings unique abilities and persistent progression, rewarding thoughtful coordination. Combat is unforgiving, demanding smart planning and constant adaptation as you unlock new characters and face evolving threats.

Frosthaven supports online co-op, letting groups tackle the sprawling campaign together across multiple sessions. The communication-heavy teamwork and deep mechanical systems create sessions that feel closer to tabletop strategy nights than typical action RPGs, perfect for players who enjoy puzzle-like combat and meaningful long-term choices.
