This is pretty big exposure for a board game maker!

Everyone is ready to play Frosthaven, Isaac Childres’s sequel to his blockbuster Gloomhaven.

 

 

I got to chat with him a little bit at Pax U a few years back when he was demoing a Frosthaven prototype and had people running sessions. After one of them was over, he let me and a buddy of mine I was there with play a couple early levels and character concepts by outselves on the show floor for a couple hours. Seems like a nice guy!

 

Also if you feel like kicking yourself in the balls, you can go to the Kickstarter update for Frosthaven where he talks about hiring a cultural consultant as outlined in the link... it's easy enough to find, it's the update with 20x the comments as usual and people absolutely losing their shit over the game going woke. There are few places with a sense of entitlement as off the rails as a Kickstarter comments section.
