Frostpunk: The Board Game puts players in the shoes of the leaders of a small colony of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world thrown off kilter by a severe ice age. Together, they must effectively manage the infrastructure of the realm and the lives of its citizens. Though easy to learn, the core gameplay is brutal, challenging, complex, and immensely immersive. The citizens of the last city on Earth are not simply mute pieces shoved up and down the boardthe mechanics allow them to function as full-fledged society members who issue demands and react accordingly to the circumstances. That said, their fate is entirely in the hands of the players, with every decision and action having its own, unique consequences.

Will you treat their subjects like yet another resource? Or will you become an inspiring builder, fearless explorer, or brilliant scientist? Will your rule prove to be an intolerable tyranny or will you bring about an era of law and equality?

Frostpunk: The Board Game was designed by Adam Kwapiski (Nemesis, Lords of Hellas) with narrative direction by Jakub Winiewski (This War of Mine: The Board Game), and is based on the bestseller video game by 11 bit studios.
