Play online with friends, solo against smart bots, or pass-and-play offline on one device. No ads, no pay-to-win, no energy timers.

Claim the island. Corner the trade routes. Build to 10 renown before anyone else.

Frontier is a turn-based strategy board game about settling, trading and outgrowing your rivals. Place your first settlements, gather wood, brick, ore, grain and wool, strike the trades that others need, and expand across a living hex board. Simple to learn in one game, deep enough to argue about for years.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Online multiplayer — private rooms with friends, played in one sitting or turn-by-turn over days. A "your turn" notification instead of a bot taking your move.
• Solo vs bots — easy, medium and hard AI that actually trade, block and counter you. Bots fill any empty seats, so a game is always ready.
• Pass-and-play offline — one device, 2 to 8 players around the table. No account, no internet needed.

2D OR FULL 3D
Play on a fast, clean 2D board, or drop into a full 3D table with themed pieces and adjustable graphics quality — smooth on phones, gorgeous on tablets.

BUILD YOUR IDENTITY
Unlock avatar cosmetics and civilisation piece themes — from wild-west saloons to grand mosques to island moai. Cosmetics are looks only. Nothing you unlock changes dice odds, starting resources, turn actions or matchmaking.

CLIMB THE LADDER
An Elo ladder and global leaderboard track your online results, with per-game achievements and a full match summary after every game, so you can see exactly where the game turned.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
• Free multiplayer board game — no ads, no pay-to-win, no energy timers.
• Quick match or slow async — fits a coffee break or a whole week.
• Cross-play — the same game in your browser, on your phone, on your tablet.
• Tiny download, instant start — no multi-gigabyte install.
• Private by design — play as a guest or a name. No email required to start.

PERFECT FOR
Board game night when everyone's in a different city. Strategy players who want trading and negotiation, not just combat. Anyone who likes settlers-style hex games, resource trading, dice-driven economies and turn-based multiplayer strategy.

Gather. Trade. Settle. Build to renown. The frontier is open — stake your claim. ## Rankings - #2,421,913 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.forgefrontier.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Island Settlers](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.otterholte.islandsettlersapp) — 8 users - [Hextrategy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fpdev.hextrategy2) - [Hex Realms](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.newdawn333.hexrealms) — 41 users - [Battle for Hexagon](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.artemlatotin.battleforhexagon) — 13,415 users, 3.46 / 5 - [HexFront](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.oar.hexfront.hexfront) — 17 users - [Cosyhex](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cosyhex.app) — 1 users - [Playgridia: Board Games](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.playgridia.app) — 8 users - [Hexoris: Hex Strategy Puzzle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dino.logic.games.hexoris) — 1,880 users - [Harbor Rush:Hex Strategy Game](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.firstfungames.dreamvoyage) — 48,469 users - [Flip Frontier](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fgtp.flip_frontier) — 9 users - [Hexhold](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hexhold.game) — 6 users - [Hexworld - Medieval Conquest](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pixelbrew.strategy.medieval.kindoms.conquest) — 9,381 users, 3.60 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.forgefrontier.app)
