About the Game

Frostpunk: TBG Companion App is a digital support tool created by Glass Cannon Unplugged for use with Frostpunk: The Board Game. It is not a standalone game, and it is not required to play the tabletop version. Instead, it offers optional systems that change or enhance how certain parts of the board game are handled. The app introduces a new Trade game mode, provides a phase tracker, and adds the original video game's soundtrack to your tabletop sessions. Because the app is optional, groups can decide whether to include all of these tools, only some of them, or none at all.
The central addition in the companion app is the Trade game mode. In the board game's harsh frozen world, the Beacon may allow you to find other Survivors and establish connections with them. Once a connection is made, those Survivors can help each other when conditions become desperate. This creates a new layer of interaction that is not part of the standard board game rules. The Trade mode gives players an alternative way to resolve certain situations, and it can shift how you approach survival. If your group wants a different kind of challenge or a more cooperative dynamic, the Trade mode offers that without forcing you to abandon the core experience.
Another major function of the app is phase tracking. Frostpunk: The Board Game has a structured flow, and keeping track of each phase can become complicated during tense moments. The companion app helps you follow the game's progression clearly, reducing the chance of missed steps or rule disputes. This is useful for both new players who are still learning the sequence and experienced groups who want to keep the session moving. The tracker is designed to sit alongside the physical board game, not replace it, so you still handle all components and decisions at the table.
The app also includes music from the Frostpunk video game. This soundtrack is a direct way to deepen the atmosphere of your board game sessions. The cold, desperate tone of the music matches the setting, and many players find that it helps them stay immersed in the world. Since the music is integrated into the app, you do not need to set up a separate audio player or playlist. You can control it from the same interface you use for trade connections and phase tracking.
Running Frostpunk: TBG Companion App through MuMuPlayer on a PC or Windows device brings several practical benefits. A larger screen makes it easier to read trade details, track phases, and manage audio without leaning over a small phone display. If you are using a Mac, MacBook, or macOS system, MuMuPlayer allows you to run the app on that hardware as well, including devices like a Mac mini or machines with Apple Silicon chips such as M1, M2, M3, or M4. This flexibility means you can keep the companion app open on your main computer while the board game occupies the table. The stable performance and clear interface on PC or Mac hardware help reduce distractions during long sessions, letting you focus on the difficult choices that define Frostpunk.

In the world of Frostpunk, survival depends on constant attention to the Generator and the mood of your people. The companion app does not change that core tension. It simply gives you new ways to manage the experience. Whether you use the Trade mode to reach out to other Survivors, rely on the phase tracker to keep your group organized, or let the music pull you deeper into the frozen setting, the app is built to support the tabletop game on your terms. With MuMuPlayer, you can run it comfortably on a PC, Windows machine, Mac, MacBook, or macOS device, including Mac mini and Apple Silicon systems, so the tools you need are always close at hand.
