Dead of Winter is a harsh survival game. You manage a colony of survivors during a zombie apocalypse. Everyone works together to achieve a main objective. However, each person also has a secret goal. Someone might be a traitor actively trying to ruin things. You constantly suspect your neighbours. Resources are always scarce. You have to decide if venturing outside is worth the risk of getting bitten. The narrative crossroads cards add great flavour. It is stressful in a good way. You will argue a lot before it ends.
