Frost

About

Frost is a solo card game where survival hinges on building and managing a deck to navigate a deadly storm. Each turn you balance resource gathering, shelter upgrades, and risk mitigation as your group faces worsening conditions. The deck-building mechanics borrow from games like Dominion but add a survival twist, poor choices or bad luck can lead to instant collapse. You track progress through a shared timeline that tightens the tension as the storm intensifies. The game stands out for its punishing difficulty and solitary focus. Without multiplayer or co-op modes, it’s all about adapting to random events and optimizing your deck’s efficiency. Community feedback shows polarized opinions, some praise its clever mechanics and replayability, while others cite steep learning curves and inconsistent pacing. Released in 2016, it remains a niche pick for strategy fans who enjoy high-stakes planning. Available on PC, consoles, and Linux/Mac, it’s a compact but challenging experience for players seeking a test of foresight.
