As a guy whose job revolves around board games, I get to spend a lot of my time chatting about why RPGs like Frosthaven are fantastic. And honestly, that's a pleasure. But even I can admit that it's not easy to schedule sessions, commit to long-running campaigns, or find space for a box of cardboard and plastic that feels as if it needs a room to itself. That's why the upcoming adaptation from Snapshot Games is such a godsend.
Much like Twin Sail's Gloomhaven before it (which recreated one of the best board games in digital form), this version of Cephalofair's sprawling fantasy epic translates the tabletop experience into a PC adventure on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Although it's not a one-to-one translation, it's pretty damn close to the Frosthaven fans fell in love with a couple years back - right down to mechanics, characters, and locations. Combine that with a development team which involves X-Com creator Julian Gollop and I feel excitement is more than justified.
