Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago

A vanished chain of jungle-covered islands appears and invites expeditions of Heritors — warriors descended from those who drank from a mystical pool — and their small warbands. Players field a leader and a handpicked band of spellcasters, fighters, and specialists to explore shifting ruins, recover treasures, and confront island dangers. Gameplay uses skirmish wargame rules for movement, ranged and melee combat, and magic. Characters gain and spend inherited abilities to perform extraordinary feats, learn spells from multiple schools, and outfit their crews from varied soldier types. Scenarios, treasure tables, and a bestiary of island monsters and hostile tribes shape each tabletop mission.
