Game Overview:

In Frontier Gambit, players push their luck, using strategy and skill to outmaneuver one another in a race for survival and victory. Housed in a compact mint-tin, Frontier Gambit is travel-friendly and perfect for quick, intense sessions on the go. The game challenges players to balance risk and reward, as they venture further from town in search of bountiful game, each step bringing greater peril and excitement.

Key Features:

  • Push Your Luck – much more than wolves lurk in the forests beyond.
  • Survival – do you use all your provisions to venture further from town or save some for the way back?
  • Musketry – skillfully use your musket shots to alter your bad dice rolls!
  • Companions & Items – gain friends and supplies along the way to help you in your hunt.
  • Multiple Modes of Play – Free for All, Teams, Alternate Maps and Solo Play all packed into this small mint tin package.

As a thank you for your support, purchasers of this edition will receive a 10% discount code, redeemable for one of my future games on The Game Crafter. Your support means a lot—thank you!

Own It Played It Fun Nice Artwork

I very well done and satisfying game. Opened it up in my LGS and got a lot of questions when a friend and I were playing. The solo mode is a lot of fun but there is more variety and unpredictablity ...
