| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) | comment |
A survival/horror cooperative Adventure Board Game set in the dead of winter during a Zombie Apocalypse, where players must achieve personal goals and keep the community of survivors alive until spring. Designed by Isaac Vega and Jon Gilmour in 2014 for Plaid Hat Games, it is the first of a planned series of games that uses the Crossroads system.Can be ordered via the official website or found in your local gaming store. Plaid Hat Games has also put a PDF of the rules on their website.2-5 players select a Main Objective the group must achieve before the game is over, as well as Once Per Round Crisis Card to resolve before the round is finished. Players select 2 or more Survivors to control on the board, moving them from the relative safety of the Colony and venturing out to forage and fight in the dangerous locations of the town. However, players also have a Secret Objective for themselves to achieve by the end of the game, which could be as harmless as collecting lots of tools, or as malicious as seeking to destroy the colony from within, and which the player must also achieve if they are to win. Food is running short, trash is piling up at the Colony, characters are getting frostbite, and worse, the zombies are massing at the doors and smashing through your barricades.The goal is survival, but not everyone can make it until spring.An expansion was teased by founder Colby Dauch. This expansion, "The Long Night" was released in 2016. A second expansion, "Warring Colonies" was announced in May 2017 and was released on October 12, 2017.In 2017, Oni Press started publishing a comic book series based on the game called Dead of Winter.Not to be confused with the chilling 1987 Gothic Horror film. Also not to be confused with the Dead Winter webcomic, which hilariously enough is also set in a Zombie Apocalypse. | |

No Bikes in the Apocalypse | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_15200cf7 | comment |
No Bikes in the Apocalypse: Downplayed. The bicycle messenger Hugo Valentine is immune to most hazards of travel — he can't suffer injuries or frostbite, but he can get bitten. However, it's unique to him; others who want to travel safely had better scrounge for fuel. | |

Death as Game Mechanic | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_2b1b2877 | comment |
Death as Game Mechanic: When a character dies, Morale goes down - as the game is lost if Morale ever gets to zero, this is usually bad. However, one character is so useless that if you kill him immediately, the group actually gains morale (though that player now has one less character to control). Also, if one player is the traitor themselves, they can only win the game if the rest of the group loses, so 'accidentally' letting characters die can be a very useful way of achieving that. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Several survivors' abilities don't do anything interesting for them, but shift the odds in ways that can keep the colony afloat. Examples include Loretta Clay creating food tokens, Nadia Rivers letting each player replace a die roll, and Brandon Kane clearing the trash heap more efficiently. | |

Everyone Is Bi | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_5067fd81 | comment |
Everyone Is Bi: A crossroads card implies that two characters are lovers and can spend their time either arguing (creating noise for the zombies) or having sex (preventing them from searching). This is regardless of the genders of the survivors, they just need to be alone together. (It can be especially embarrassing if one of the partners is a dog, monkey or Forest the Mall Santa.) | |

Zombie Apocalypse | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_60414102 | comment |
Zombie Apocalypse: The setting. The dead walk the earth, society has crumbled, and the player characters have formed a small colony of survivors that rely on looting the remains. There are some signs of broader human activity, like traveling survivors, police running a Protection Racket, and air-dropped supplies from China, but for the most part, the Colony is on its own. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: The game offers a remarkable number of ways to recover from, or at least mitigate, a stroke of bad luck... yet you can still get screwed by, for example, too many food-related Crises in a row (since you always need to feed your people in addition to spending Food cards to avoid the Crisis), or by a "bitten" result on the Exposure die, or... Hell, the way the first player marker rotates can screw you over! explanation Turn order goes clockwise. The first player marker rotates counterclockwise, which means you will play two back-to-back turns, sooner or later. That may sound good, but if one of your characters gets a frostbite wound (take an extra wound at the beginning of each of your turns), they will end up taking two wounds without any other player being able to help them, and since the maximum number of wounds most characters can take before dying is three... In fact, it's quite possible for the entire colony to wipe before a single turn has occurred. (In such cases, it's preferable, because the players can shrug, and quickly reset for a new game.) | |

Chekhov's Skill: Every survivor's former profession factors into their special ability and their skills at searching for items and killing zombies. People that drive for a living don't roll for exposure when moving, medicine-related professions can heal wounds, soldiers and prison guards can kill zombies at range, etc. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: Some of the Crossroads scenarios offer these. A basic example is either taking on both more useful survivors and more useless mouths, or turning them away and leaving them to whatever fate awaits them. Getting a tooth on the die means another character in the same location is now infected, and that player has to decide to either kill him or have a 50% chance of either saving them or dying and infecting another character. | |

It's All About Me | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: Some Secret Objectives lean this way, for example, withholding gasoline or weapons or tools from the other survivors. This can easily spell disaster for the non-traitor players. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Your Survivors might make some questionable decisions. As a group, the Colony might vote to deny shelter to people seeking help, exile their own, or any number of morally grey acts. However, you cannot kill helpless survivors and being too callous brings down the morale counter. The secret objectives may force the player to act suspiciously or against the best wishes of the colony, like hoarding medicine, gasoline or food. Without these objectives, the player loses even if the win conditions for the group are met. Of course, this is intentional so that innocent players may look like a traitor. | |

Hold the Line: Everywhere that the survivors can be, zombies will pile up outside and threaten to overrun the position. The colony practically requires at least one dedicated defender to hold the line. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: the "The Long Night" expansion has a number of these. A findable item is a book called The Adventures of Dr. Hat Wife, a reference to noted neurologist Oliver Sacks and his seminal work of popular psychology, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. A second book is entitled, The Art of Being Neither Seen Nor Heard, a joke from Arrested Development. | |

Variable Player Goals | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_c9b7f3e | comment |
Variable Player Goals: The whole point of the Secret Objectives. They add to the air of tension, as a player looking out for number one is not necessarily a traitor. It also sets the game apart from most cooperative and most social-deduction tabletop games: in Mysterium the entire team can lose but there's No Antagonist, and in Secret Hitler either the liberals win or the fascists win... but in Dead of Winter it's possible for everyone to lose, traitor and loyalist alike. | |

We ARE Struggling Together | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_cbdd9a55 | comment |
We ARE Struggling Together: Players' secret objectives can sometimes put them at odds with other players or the Colony's main objective (for example, if they have to hoard necessary supplies). Zig-zagged with one Crossroads card that inspires the character to set aside their personal goals and devote themself fully to the Colony's survival. | |

Killed Off for Real: If a Survivor dies, their figure is removed from their board, their card is removed from the game, and any items equipped to them are shuffled back into the deck. In all but one case, morale goes down. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: In the Long Night expansions, Despair tokens can get added to survivors, which are basically wounds that can't be healed except in exceptional circumstances. Presumably racking up Despair or taking a Despair as a final wound results in the survivor being Driven to Suicide. | |

The Load | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Helpless survivors, which take up space, attract zombies, eat your food, and contribute nothing to the betterment of the colony. Implied to be either small children or the elderly, depending on what the scenario calls for (or players' interpretations). One scenario explicitly makes one of them an extremely fat guy who eats all of the colony's food — or can be made into five food chips. Bon Appetit! | |

Arbitrary Mission Restriction | |
| Dead of Winter (Tabletop Game) / int_ef2c9b2d | comment |
Arbitrary Mission Restriction: If the main objective is completed successfully before a loss condition is triggered, all players collectively win the game. However, each player also has a hidden individual objective. A player can only achieve individual victory if the group mission is successful and the player fulfills their own objective. Many of these individual goals can go counter to the group goal, since they can require the player to hoard vital supplies or play in a sub-optimal fashion, while still trying to achieve the group goal. This is Inverted if a player gets a Betrayer objective, which means that they can only win if they fulfill their individual objective and the group fails. | |
