   I wish there were more stars I could add for this game. It took me forever to learn the rules but it was totally worth it. The creators should be affiliated for the tense and involving gameplay and truly simulates what might actually happen during a zombie apocalypse.
   You need concentrated time and focus to play this, and you’ll feel like you’ve been put through the ringer at the end of it, but it in the best way possible.
   The pieces are well made and yes, there are quite a few things to keep in mind while playing, but they all add so much value to the gameplay and are really quite intuitive. Are you searching for something at the library? Well, you’re bound to attract attention.
   Highly recommend it for more seasoned board gamers.
   

3. Dead of Winter Board Game Review After 5 Years of Playing Verified Buyer – 23 February 2025

   Pro * Video rules online * Random events * Different objectives * Good story * Good Re-Play Cons * Not enough zombie standees * Lots of things to remember * Setup and cleanup I hate zombies, I am not a zombie fan, in fact, I am sick of the whole zombie craze. THIS GAME IS FREAKING AWESOME! Wow, where do I begin with this game. Things you need to do in the game: – Worry about your secret objective – Find the person that is the betrayer (if there is one) – Deal with the Crisis each round (bad things happen if you don’t) – Deal with the trash building up – Deal with the main objective – Deal with the Crossroad Card if it gets played – Deal with feeding all the helpless survivors – Deal with moveing and rolling the exposure die – Deal with the zombies Like I said, there is a lot in the game, and it really keeps you on your toes. I’ve played with 1, 2, 3, and 4 player games of this, and it is fun with all of them. I like 2 and 3 players better, mainly because it seems easier, it may not be, just seemed like it. Many of the main objectives and most of the Crisis cards say something to the effect of needing say food cards for every non exiled player x2. So if you have 4 players, and nobody has been exiled yet, you need 8 food cards, but you also need food to feed your people. If you only play with 2 people, then you need 4. The exposure die SUCKS! Every time you move unless your character says otherwise, or you use a card, you need to roll for exposure. This can be anything from nothing happens, to getting a wound (3 kills you), getting frostbite (1 wound each round), or getting bit. Getting bit kills you, if you moved to a location where there are other survivors, one of them is infected, and you can either kill them, or roll the die. If you roll the die, and get anything other than nothing, they die, and another survivor gets infected. Every time someone dies you loose a morale, if morale goes down to 0, you loose. If you are good at keeping track of things, and can deal with the pressure, and anxiety, this is an awesome game! If you are thinking of getting this game, get Dead of Winter: The Long Night instead, it is just as good, better in some ways, but worse in others. Still a better copy to get.
