Amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, wizards battle in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire. In this fantasy-skirmish wargame, each player takes on the role of a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, and builds his band of followers. The wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, and more than a dozen other henchman types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armored knights and stealthy thieves.
Wizards can expand their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets and may learn up to 80 different spells. While individual games of Frostgrave are quick and can easily be played in an hour or two, it is by connecting them into an ongoing campaign that players will find the most enjoyment. The scenarios given in the book are merely the beginning of the limitless adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the Frozen City.

For me, Frostgrave has a real flavor of the Old School, fun tabletop adventuring that was prevalent when I first got into D&D… Recommended – especially for the money.

It looks to become the fantasy skirmish campaign game, and rightly so… It is a must-have for any fantasy gamer!
In their play-through review, Wargames Illustrated, the world's leading wargaming magazine, concluded…
I urge those of us who remember the AD&D adventures of our youth, have ever read a fantasy novel, or seen a fantasy movie, to seek out a copy of this tome and sally forth on the road to adventure!
