Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game offers a unique experience that can only be achieved through the medium of tabletop gaming. It is a story-driven game focused on surviving a brutal winter in an apocalyptic world. The survivors, each grappling with their own psychological struggles, must nonetheless work together to fend off external threats, resolve crises, gather food and supplies, and maintain the colony’s morale.

In Dead of Winter, players are constantly faced with tough, highly thematic decisions that vary widely in their impact. Often, they must choose between what is best for the colony as a whole and what is best for their own survival.
