Dead of Winter

Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game by Plaid Hat Games for 2–5 players, ages 13+, playing in 60–120 minutes.

Players work together to achieve a shared colony objective — but each player also has a secret personal goal that may conflict with the group's survival. One player may even be a secret betrayer. Every decision carries weight: managing resources, fighting off zombies, and navigating the colony's morale while questioning who you can trust.

Best for: Fans of thematic, story-driven games who enjoy hidden role mechanics and tough moral decisions.
Mechanics: Co-operative play, hidden roles, hand management, variable player powers, dice rolling.
