Dead of Winter : A Crossroads Game

Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game

Dead of Winter is a semi-cooperative survival game set in a zombie apocalypse winter — your group is trying to keep the colony alive while completing a shared objective, but every player also has a secret personal goal. And somewhere in the group, there might be a traitor working against everyone. The Crossroads system throws unexpected narrative events at the group constantly, creating dramatic moments that make every session feel like a story worth telling.

The combination of cooperation, hidden agendas, and those Crossroads card surprises gives this game an edge that few others can match. Every game generates tension, suspense, and moments you'll be talking about long after it's over.

🎲 What We Think at WiredVillage

You're never quite sure who to trust, which makes the whole experience more engaging. A great pick for groups that enjoy narrative games with a bit of edge.
