Frosthaven – Legacy of the Algox

An Algox messenger arrives, bringing information about a possible resolution. Now the heroes of Frosthaven must decide the fate of the Algox and shape the legacy that will define their future. Something ancient and malevolent stirs beneath the ice. In addition to an epic new storyline filled with political intrigue, three playable heroes enter the Frozen North: "Astral," "Drill," and "Shackles." These classes introduce unique playstyles and abilities that will dynamically shape party builds and strategy considerations. Also joining these heroes is an additional pet, totaling 11 pets so far for players to discover and capture! Summon your pets from the Stables, bring them into battle, and activate unique and powerful abilities, adding strategic depth beyond standard item cards.
