Overview
Dead of Winter places you in command of a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. The game focuses on the struggles of surviving the harsh winter while also dealing with the constant threat of the undead. Each player leads a group of survivors and must work together with the other players to achieve a common colony goal, but also strives to complete their own secret objective.
Throughout the game, players will face various crises and dilemmas presented via "Crossroads" cards, forcing them to make tough decisions that can impact the entire colony. Careful resource management, strategic zombie fighting, and social interaction between players all play a critical role in determining the colony's fate. You never know who to trust, as someone may be working against the group's interests.
