Frostgrave is a fantasy miniatures wargame designed by Joseph A. McCullough and published by Osprey Games in 2015.
Gameplay
[edit]Frostgrave is a fantasy wargame in which wizards battle each other.[1] Combat is primarily resolved through the use of 20 sided dice. A key feature of Frostgrave is the bestiary where if all players agree a random encounter table is consulted and an uncontrolled creature may enter the battlefield.[2]
Reception
[edit]William Niebling for ICv2 gave Frostgrave: Ulterior Motives 4 out of 5 stars and said that "Ulterior Motives expands Frostgrave in a way that makes it even more fun to play, without bogging down the game with a lot of fiddly new rules, and without undermining the core elements that make the game unique."[3]
