WttD was incredibly tense and often hilarious. A very simple concept but you spend the whole time trying to consider possibilities and options. All whilst trying to second guess what others are going to do. Great fun and a fantastic warm up game.
DoW is just a wonderful combination of story and very clever game design. The first scenario we did was a bit of a failure as we all were getting used to the game and kind of neglected getting food for our survivors. The second game went almost too quickly as we were too efficient. Still great fun though. The crossroad cards are an excellent addition and the game as a whole promoted a lot of discussion. Excellent stuff but I feel like we have only just scratched the surface.

Interviewed the designer of Dead of Winter for our next podcast, Jon Gilmour. Should be going up in a week
He's a genuinely really great guy and we had a great chat. Keep an eye on twitter and our website.
