About Kickstarter The sequel to Gloomhaven is currently being financed. The successor with the extremely creative name Frosthaven has already broken the five million euro mark within a very short time - and the trend continues to rise. The campaign only started on March 31st and is now supported by almost 40.000 “backers”. Frosthaven is scheduled to be released in exactly one year, in March 2021.


After a postponement due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the crowdfunding campaign is closed Frosthaven on Kickstarter started on March 31st. After only two days, around 40.000 fans have already reached a funding amount of over 5,2 million euros. Designer Isaac Childres has given a campaign goal of just over 450.000 euros. Frosthaven is setting off to new heights on Kickstarter.

Frosthaven surpasses Gloomhaven, at least financially

With over 5,2 million euros already raised, Frosthaven, the sequel to the successful board game Gloomhaven, is chasing records. For comparison, Gloomhaven had about $390.000 in first printing Kickstarter The second edition, however, already reached ten times that amount at four million US dollars. Frosthaven still surpasses its predecessor after just two days.

Kickstarter-Kampagne verfolgt, sieht die Finanzierungssumme derzeit minütlich ansteigen. Frosthaven befindet sich damit auf einem echten Finanzierungs-Höhenflug; von Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5   und seinen erzielten 12.393.139 US-Dollar ist das Brettspiel derzeit dennoch weit entfernt – allerdings verbleiben (Stand: Donnerstag, 2. April) weitere 29 Tage, in denen Fans von Gloomhaven ihr Geld – zwischen 100 und 240 US-Dollar – in die Produktion des Sequels stecken können. Man muss kein Hellseher sein, um zu erahnen, dass viele weitere „Backer“ von der Möglichkeit Gebrauch machen werden. Ob es für den Verlag Cephalofair Games am Ende für die Spitzenposition reichen wird, bleibt abzuwarten.

Projections show record opportunities

If the Frosthaven campaign can maintain its current pace, a total funding amount of around 60 million US dollars could theoretically be achieved. At least that is based on projections by the Kicktraq site* Hervor.

Experience shows that campaigns weaken after just a few days, real hype board games can keep their good backer numbers for a while longer. 60 million US dollars is probably too high, but Frosthaven is currently launching a serious attack on the top spot and could inherit KDM as heir to the throne.

Frosthaven is a cooperative board game for one to four players, set in realms north of the city of Gloomhaven. Pretty miniatures - including yeti-like creatures, in keeping with the theme - and tactical combat are the focus of the sequel to the best-selling Gloomhaven. The party of heroes explores icy cave systems, meets enemies and fights. Overall, the successor sticks closely to the "original", but also comes up with some new mechanics.

2020 is a real Gloomhaven year with the kickstart of Frosthaven and the planned release of the entry-level variant "Jaws of the Lion". The big box version of the Coop title released in 2017 is considered by fans and critics to be one of the best board games of recent years - and not just because of the quality of the game, but also largely because of the exciting narrative strands, embedded in the concept of a legacy -board game.

In any case, the crowdfunding campaign for Frosthaven ends on May 1st - with or without a new record. Here there is also more about Kickstarter and crowdfunding.
