Dinsun Review
This isn't really a game, but it’s a godsend for anyone playing the physical Frosthaven. If you’ve ever accidentally spoiled a boss room because you glanced at the next page of the scenario book, you know why this exists. It’s simple, functional, and it respects the player's experience.
The interface is utilitarian—no flashy animations, just clear maps and checkboxes. It does exactly what it needs to do. My only gripe is that it’s another screen at the table, which some purists might hate. But considering the alternative is a giant book that’s hard to keep open, I’ll take the app every time. It’s a tool made by people who clearly play the game it's designed for.
