Frosthaven – Among the Wreckage (54)

David Skelector Boardgame, Frosthaven, Play reports

This scenario follows Explosive Descent as we try to capture another part of the Coral Crown.

We have to destroy objectives but doing so « awakens » (spawn) Lurkers or other bad things happens. Finally, we have to defeat the Seeker of the Abyss, a dangerous foe.

Characters

  • Zam Boni the Frozen Fist (David) lvl 5, big dude but very graceful on ice
  • Anaphi the Fallen Lion (Math) lvl 4, got out of the sewers to find some coins
  • Hail the Irritable Enchanter (Guillaume) lvl 5, will she get irritated enough to care?
So where is it? Is it under that rock?
GAAH! That’s not what I was looking for!
Anaphi’s rats will help us in our search.
Another lurker, a big one! Anaphi’s, huh, tentacle, whips at it from a distance.
Amazing all we can find under some rocks!
I feel like we’re getting closer…
Zam Boni freezes the sea’s floor right under another lurker.
And then we all slide until we reach…
The Seeker of the Abyss. It lashes out at us but we finally manage to surround it and kill it. Another coral crown part for us, still missing one.

Closing comments:

  • Great scenario, well-balanced as we were very close to defeat in fact. We were all very low on cards at the end.
  • A dramatic moment happened in the game when Hail missed a massive attack 12 on the brittled Boss (so 24 damage + card bonuses). Took us a few more rounds to kill it.
  • Hail is a killing machine, no doubt about that, but I think she badly needs an item that gives her advantage on her biggest attacks.
  • It was tough scenario for summon-heavy Anaphi as summons in general in this game have a tendancy to attack when they shouldn’t and in this case, revealed more monsters at the wrong timing.
  • The Frozen Fist has quickly become one of my favorite character to date, his ability to dash forward among enemies is very satisfying.
