Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago – Lost Colossus is an expansion for Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago released in 2018 for 2–8 players and 60–120 minutes per game. It was designed by Joseph McCullough and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Role Playing.
Long ago, the great Colossus of Argantheon stood upon one of the outer islands, its vast, outstretched arm pointing the way to the Crystal Pool, or so the ancient texts claim. Then, during some forgotten war, the Colossus was shattered, and its parts flung across the Archipelago, to lie in forgotten ruin. In this expansion for Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago, players lead their warbands through a series of interlinked scenarios in a race to discover the secrets of the Colossus. Along the way, they will encounter new monsters, discover new treasures, and even recruit a few new specialist warriors to their cause. Perhaps, if they are successful, the knowledge they obtain will help point them towards the ultimate treasure! —description from the publisher
