Create a wizard and choose your spells. Then hire a gang of mercenaries and explore the frozen ruins on the hunt for magical treasure! To begin your adventures in the Frozen City, all you need is the Second Edition rulebook, pictured here. Although Frostgrave encourages players to use any miniatures they want, official miniatures are available from North Star Military Figures.
Once you’ve mastered the rules, there are a numerous supplements you can pick up that contain even more adventures, monsters, and magic. None of these are necessary, and all of them stand alone so that players can pick and choose what to explore next.
