Thanks Paul! I’m loving Frosthaven! I’m about 8 scenarios in but I’ve unlocked three classes and just retired my first character, can’t wait to start a new one! Speaking of starting new characters, I’ve been wondering whether it’s possible to cheese things a bit, even unintentionally, by creating new characters, selling their items for cash, and using the money to pay for buildings. At least with just two characters, I’ve been cash-strapped so far and I know you can create new characters, setting aside your old ones and returning to them if you like. I don’t want to cheese anything but it feels like it might happen if I create characters to try out new classes and sell their items for money.

From the official FAQ: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3001013/official-faq-frosthaven-no-rules-questions-please What are the Sun and the Moon on the building cards? The Sun effect happens during Building Operations (Step 3 of the Outpost Phase), when you sequentially go through the building card deck in order. Most operations here are optional, but any Wrecked building effects are mandatory. The Moon effects are ways to interact with the building during Downtime (Step 4 of the Outpost Phase).

I don’t understand how the defence track works. At 2:55 your text states ‘The starting defense is is 0+ your morale bonus (set after scenario 1).’ Confusing. Should this simply state ‘The starting Total Defense is zero’? Your video makes it sound like the total defense equals the defense track but that can’t be right as the book example shows a defense value of 35. If I go up from 7 to 8 morale, does this add +5 to the ‘total defense’ value? If I then drop to 7 then go back up to 8 again, do I apply this +5 to the ‘Total Defense’ value again? I’m so confused!
@GamingRulesVideos Жыл бұрын
Both the designer and the playtesters helped me with that part of the script and the video, so apologies if it is not clear. To say that the starting defense is 0 is not quite true, because after scenario 1, it might be higher. Let me try and put it another way. It does start out at 0, but is then modified by your morale. So, if your morale is 8, that gives you a +5, so you actually write "5". If you later build a wall which gives +5, you change the 5 to 10. Then, if morale drops to 7, you lose the +5, so you change it back to 5. Does that help?

Hi Paul, I checked your video, because I'm near to start with my first scenario and I found one topic after double check it with the rulebook, I don't understand. Maybe you can help me here. My question is regarding the wrecked situations of buildings. I can't understand when a building is wrecked or how this damage at all works in detail. I write how I interprete it and please correct me if I'm, wrong. For example the situation is this, that I have an attack of 50 which goes against 3 buildings and I have 1 motivation and no material left. - The first attack comes and I draw the wrecked card. I think that this building is automatically wrecked. - The second attack comes and I draw a modifier which is not high enough to cover the power. To repair this I must now loose my last motivation because I have no material and I think I can't say that I want to save the motivation. - The third attack comes and I draw a modifier which is not high enough to cover the power too. Because I have no material and no motivationn left, what happens than? Is the building than wrecked too? Is this correct what I wrote or did you found a failure in one of my three bullet points?

@GamingRulesVideos Жыл бұрын
@@frankschmid4100 Apologies. Let me clarify. Damaged and Wrecked are different things. If the defense check fails, the building is damaged. You must immediately pay for the repair if you can with resources. If you do not have the resources, you must lose 1 morale. This represents the town having to repair it themselves. But either way - the building is repaired. Wrecked is something different. That happens when the wrecked card is drawn (or something else tells you to). So, in your example: the first attack wrecks the building. Nothing you can do. You can try to rebuild it later in the Outpost phase. The second attack, the building is damaged, you cannot pay to repair it, so you MUST lose 1 morale. No choice. The third attack - again - damages the building. If you cannot pay to repair it, you lose 1 morale. If you are already at the bottom of the morale track, I don't think anything else happens. I hope that makes sense. Buildings do NOT get wrecked just because you cannot afford to repair them if they are damaged.

You actually want to always retire characters if possible because that's one of the main ways to progress the campaign. You need the building unlocks. Also, there's nothing to stop you from creating the exact same character again after retiring if you don't want to play something else. Yes, they will be a lower level at first and have fewer items, but it would still be the same class.
