The player who just finished their turn draws a crossroads card before the next player begins their turn.
The crossroads card mechanic just adds to the drama of the situation. Oh, and one of you might be a betrayer, which adds some tension to an already difficult game. But if you want to win personally, then you have to complete your own secret objective – so there can be no winner, one winner, or multiple winners. In order to win the game at all, the group has to complete the super objective. There’s a super objective, and then every player has their own secret objective. It’s more than likely that one of your characters will die, whether it be from exposure to the cold or a zombie bite. As you can tell from the title, they’re trying to make it through a harsh winter. If I’m playing a co-operative game with my friends and it’s too easy, I get bored.īeyond the mechanical workings of the game, Dead of Winter’s theme is poignant and harsh.The players control people who have managed to survive the zombie apocalypse. I think this is an essential quality of co-ops.
One of the things I really appreciate about Dead of Winter is that the mechanics are very simple, but the game itself is incredibly difficult. I also got the chance to talk to Isaac Vega, one of the designers of Dead of Winter, who’s working on a new game called Ashes. As I mentioned in a previous article, I got the opportunity to interview the founder of Plaid Hat Games Colby Dauch about one of their newest games, Dead of Winter, and about how they consider women as they go through their design process.
