Selling my copy of the board game "Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game"
I have only ever used this copy of the game once, and as such all components are still in exceptional, practically new condition. If it's not immediately obvious, the pictures I have included in this ad are promotional photos from the official website, not actual photos of the product as I am selling it.
Dead of Winter is currently ranked #24 on Board Game Geek, and was featured in an episode of Wil Wheaton's TableTop, which I have included as a YouTube video on this page. There is also an expansion due out in the next couple of months (entitled Dead of Winter: The Long Night). RRP is normally £50.00.
I do not have access to a car, but can meet up with buyers around the Feltham or Kingston areas if you are not able to get to Sunbury easily.
OFFICIAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
"Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game, the first game in this series, puts 2-5 players in a small, weakened colony of survivors in a world where most of humanity is either dead or diseased, flesh-craving monsters. Each player leads a faction of survivors with dozens of different characters in the game.
Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game. This means players are working together toward one common victory condition — but for each individual player to achieve victory, he must also complete his personal secret objective. This secret objective could relate to a psychological tick that's fairly harmless to most others in the colony, a dangerous obsession that could put the main objective at risk, a desire for sabotage of the main mission, or (worst of all) vengeance against the colony! Certain games could end with all players winning, some winning and some losing, or all players losing. Work toward the group's goal, but don't get walked all over by a loudmouth who's looking out only for his own interests!
Dead of Winter is an experience that can be accomplished only through the medium of tabletop games. It's a story-centric game about surviving through a harsh winter in an apocalyptic world. The survivors are all dealing with their own psychological imperatives, but must still find a way to work together to fight off outside threats, resolve crises, find food and supplies, and keep the colony's morale up.
Dead of Winter has players making frequent, difficult, heavily- thematic, wildly-varying decisions that often have them deciding between what is best for the colony and what is best for themselves."
