If you exchange special codes with other groups as part of a dedicated phone app, special virtual settlements will be created that will have access to a shared resource market with a range of commercial offers. For even greater variety, the market will be dynamic and will respond to the demand for certain raw materials as well as decreases and increases in prices. You will also be able to build relationships and dependencies between different settlements.
The concept of combining a board game with a mobile app is obviously nothing new, but it looks really cool here.
There is an option to play already
Interestingly, v Frostpunk: The Board Game you can play even today. There is a demo available under this linkthat you can run under Tabletop Simulator. It is a special application that allows you to play board games virtually on your computer. A brilliant thing because it allowed me to cut into Gloomhaven during the first lockdown.
I keep my fingers crossed for the product’s success. The money they collected is a huge proof of the trust of board game fans and the title itself Frostpunk. I hope this trust will not be wasted.
It is also worth adding that thanks to such a high financial result, the creators intend to implement absolutely all ideas, that is:
- the already mentioned mobile application for creating shared sessions with other players
- additional building
- additional map configurations and scenarios
So there is a chance that the final product will be very diverse and will provide a long and interesting entertainment.
