Three ways to play
However you like to play, a game is ready.
Pass-and-play
One device, 2 to 8 players around the table. No account, no connection — just pass the phone and take your turn.
Start pass-and-playOnline with friends
Private rooms you can finish in one sitting or play one turn a day, with a “your turn” nudge instead of a bot stealing your move.
Create a private roomReal Frontier gameplay
One Classic island. Two clear ways to see it.
Read every route instantly in 2D, then see the same Classic island as a full 3D table with civilisation pieces, height and atmosphere. These are live views from the current game—not staged artwork—and both use the same rules and game state.

More than three ways to start
Built for real life, not a grind.
Every section below adds something new: flexible pacing, deeper boards, fair customisation and player control.
One night or one turn a day
Play live, or keep an async room moving with optional turn reminders when everyone is busy.
Classic, Plus or your own rules
Start familiar, then open larger boards, 2–8 seats and modular rules when your table wants more.
Personal style, never extra power
Cosmetics, board themes and dice skins can show personality. They never change odds, rules or matchmaking.
Play first. Keep control.
No email is needed to play. Signed-in players can export their data or delete their account.
Public product statistics
Proof with a definition.
These counters come from accepted production records, not estimates. Small player cohorts stay hidden until publishing them is privacy-safe.
Real players, real results
A ladder you can verify.
Only genuine ranked results appear here. New players can see exactly what it takes to earn a place.

Quick answers
Is Frontier free?
Yes. Frontier's base game is free to play, with no ads and no pay-to-win. Optional Premium membership and cosmetic or coin purchases may be introduced to support ongoing development, but purchases never improve dice odds, match power, rules or matchmaking, and most cosmetics can still be earned through play.
Does Frontier have ads or in-app purchases?
Frontier has no ads, and real-money purchases are not enabled in the current free release. Optional Premium membership and cosmetic or coin purchases may be introduced later; any purchase offering will be clearly identified and will never provide a gameplay advantage.
Do I need an account or email to play?
No account is needed to start — solo, pass-and-play and guest online rooms work instantly. Create an account for a recoverable identity, friends, cross-device sync and persistent leaderboard progress; you can use email or continue with Google or Apple.
How do I play Frontier online with friends?
Create a private online room and share the invite link. Friends join in their browser or installed app, and you play together in real time or turn-by-turn — no downloads required to join.
