Dead of Winter

Players: 2-5

Difficulty: Advanced

Duration: 1-2 Hours

Description: Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game set in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. This means players are working together toward one common victory condition, but for each individual player to achieve victory, they must also complete their personal secret objective, which could relate to a psychological tick that's fairly harmless to most others in the colony, a dangerous obsession that could put the main objective at risk, a desire for sabotage of the main mission, or (worst of all) vengeance against the colony! Games could end with all players winning, some winning and some losing, or all players losing.
