Frozen Frontier

Players lead competing corporations to settle a two-faced planet and secure resources for Earth. Each turn, a player moves a Carrier, draws a project card, and chooses one of three actions: construct a building by playing the top half of a project card (meeting placement and cost requirements to gain ongoing card effects and advances on Industrial or Science tracks); collaborate by settling colonists and activating production/science buildings (including opponents’) to generate resources and effects; or raise funds by playing subsidy cards to gain Qubits or special options. Rounds include income collection, fulfilling common and private shipment contracts and mandatory Helium‑3 deliveries, and board preparation. Victory points come from controlled cities, settled colonists, completed shipments, and end‑game card effects.
