What is FrostBound?

A single-player strategy deckbuilder about defending humanity’s remaining civilization in a frozen world. Across runs, you build a base, manage resources, and play cards to attack or position troops against advancing enemy waves. Most troops retreat after one turn, while sturdier defenders can remain, and enemies must not cross your leftmost defense line.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy planning around unit placement and limited deployment time
  • +you like replayable runs with adjustable difficulty

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer cooperation or competitive matches
  • −you prefer direct action over managing cards and resources
