allows for great team cooperative
adventure, the happy rush of finishing a team goal together and the
satisfaction in culling an approaching Zombie army.

And then the Long
Night expansion
kicks in...
Long Night adds a wonderful reward vs risk facility into the mix
with its Raxxon element. There are
great chemical advantages to be
gained for your survivors in its darkened halls… however, more powerful zombies also lurk in its shadows.
The graveyard location will also
keep you guarded as new crossroad outcomes unlock Zombie storylines that will haunt the dreams of
your survivors.
It’s the Bandits that steal the show.
Can’t overcome a crisis? You’ve
now got an influx of Bandits from
a rival colony, and they want your
beans.
The Long Night expansion brings
with it some rather fun outcomes
for an innocent player wrongfully
exiled... they can become the Bandit King. To make matters worse
for the survivors, the Bandit King is

pretty pissed about being thrown
out of the colony, and he will have
his revenge, in this life or the next.
Dead of Winter: Long Night is a flexible game that allows its players to
solve a crisis with great freedom
of thought. This forces each player
to weigh the stressful decision between risk and reward on each dice
roll, keeping tension high throughout the gameplay.
Thanks to this freedom, Dead of
Winter: Long Night offers a unique
gameplay experience each time
you gather your friends to take on
the horde of the undead.
The potential of having a betrayer
in the group keeps everyone on
their toes questioning every action
taken.
Our own story of a betrayer revolves
around confusion on resources
needed, combined with some quick
and unpredictable group voting.
The short story, as a group we exiled an innocent and created a Bandit King. That’s just how the story
goes in a Zombie Apocalypse.
