Frosthaven: Official Companion 9+

Having been see the app for a few months now I appreciate the work that has been done and additional features that have been added. It gets the job done and streamlines the game management a ton.

One feature my group would really like to see is being able to reposition initiative order after drawing cards. I have two quick examples of this need. First if a player opens a door, monsters not currently on the board are added at the initiative order of their cards but they should be added as going after the current player. The app should either add them at the right place or allow us to move them manually. The second use case is when using boots of speed to change your initiative order after the draw. The whole point of this item is to change initiative order but the app does allow us to reflect that.

This app is great. It has all the bells and whistles that are needed and wanted to make the Frosthaven experience amazing. They just came out with an update and it looks like the connectivity issues we had are gone. That being said, a few things I think things that would help are: initiative input should have the option to be masked to other players until the draw button is pushed. (This has been fixed) The ability to randomize the number of the monsters being put on the board (the ability is here to do this but hasn’t been implemented into each scenario. It still puts out all the monsters in numeric order. ) The boss deck that was updated doesn’t have any detail on it when you click on it (like when you click on the card that was drawn by monsters). They just had an update and it messed up the enemy deck. You can no longer add or curses or bless to the enemy deck. It’s weird because it used to work just fine. I hope they fix this. The loot deck is still broken and unusable. They made it so you can see who drew the card but you can look back more than 5 cards so it really doesn’t help at all. Otherwise, Really impressed and will continue to use this app.

This app is the probably the most optimized way to track battles. It’ll take care of monsters and the loot deck, as well as, track initiative order. So it gets points for decreasing setup time. It’ll mark which scenarios are completed which is also useful.

That said, tracking which scenarios are completed is all it does in regards to campaign tracking. It does not track stickers, completed battle goals, or anything else. So if you bought this hoping it would save you time when switching out stuff for different play groups it will not.
