The Long Night Expansion is back in stock for all of you folks caught in the Dead of Winter…

If you’ve never tried Dead of Winter, now is the perfect chance. It’s a cooperative (well, sort of. ish.) board game from Plaid Hat Games that’s all about the struggle for survival and power. Mostly survival though. And the Long Night is a standalone expansion that quickly sold out–well, it’s back in stock over at Paizo, so if you missed your first chance, head on over and check it out. I think this game is pretty cool, but see for yourself.

Dead of Winter: The Long Night, the stand-alone expansion for Dead of Winter: A Crossroads game, is back in stock!

Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game from Plaid Hat Games. This means players are working together toward one common victory condition but for each individual player to achieve victory, they must also complete their 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 their own interests!

Obtain more of everything that made Dead of Winter an epic struggle for power and survival! Experience a new colony full of new survivors and new gameplay elements, each of which is introduced to players through its own game scenario. Fight off bandits from another colony, build improvements to your colony, and most intriguingly, unravel the mysteries of the new Raxxon Pharmaceutical location. It is full of powerful items, but also full of Raxxon’s twisted human experiments that show up in the game as disturbing new enemies.
