Beyond Raxxon and the Bandit Hideout there’s one new, simple “location” card added to the game. Players don’t actually send survivors there, unless they’re getting buried. Some of you may remember some secret objectives that cared about how many survivors had died. Now you have a way to keep track of who has died this game without looking suspicious. You’ve got a memorial.
Of course, having a pile of dead bodies outside the colony can’t have any consequences, could it?
So if you want to keep your survivors alive, there are a host of new tools to prevent them from heading to the graveyard.
There’s Kevin Jackson, with his ever-present sniper rifle.
There’s a new weapon for Sparky to hold between his teeth.
If slicing zombies cleanly isn’t your style, you can always go back to this zombie-movie favorite. One of the cool things is that it’s a tool, not a weapon, so it’s found in the grocery store.
Medicine is still around, but sometimes AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE!
Okay, maybe the noise created by those items is a bad idea. It can pay to be stealthy, whether you learn it from a book…
..or from years of training at being light of foot.
As before in Dead of Winter, your worst enemies are often the humans in your midst.
Sure, you could use it on a Zombie, but where’s the fun in that?
