Revisiting Dead of Winter

A cooperative game about Zombies from 2014? How does it hold up after all these years? Jimmy and Rod revisit their review of Dead of Winter.
Here is our original review: • Dead of Winter

I am a latecomer but thinking of buying a copy of DoW, I find this video extremly useful. Thank you guys. I hope you'll do more revisiting videos.

I like this idea for a video. So many new games coming out but I've been buying OLD games all over the place. Star Wars Imperial Assault is our main game at the moment now, we've been playing the campaign with 5 people as normal (1vs4), playing with my girlfirend with the Skirmish mode, and playing solo using the "Imperial Commander" App which is MUCH better than the official app (I don't want to play the campaign in the official app, I want to play the campaign that's IN THE BOX, and the fan-made Imperial Commander app let's me do that, without spoling almost anything). That way, I can play the Missions solo as the Rebels for the first time, before I play (almost the same) campaign against my group as a Imperial Player. You've been one of the reasons that got me to buy Imperial Assault, you and all those "green dice" shenanigans, I watched all your Imperial Assault videos more than once. Also, The Others 7 Sins.. Blood Rage... Chaos in the Old World.. Gloomhaven.. Warhammer Underworlds.. I've been picking up these "old" games that I always heard about and that's my whole collection now, but all of them are getting to the table very frequently. Meanwhile the whole KZbin seems stuck-up on Kickstarters campaigns and new games all the time. Revisiting (and actually playing) past games is where it's at. Love the video even though I don't really like Dead of Winter :) Keep it up.

Thank you for the comment! It means so much. That is awesome that you are enjoying IA! What a great game. Now I want to get that one off the shelf too.

I use to have this in the collection, but now after this video I’ve gotta find someone who has it to get it played again. I did enjoy it but it wasn’t getting to the table enough.

This is one that collected dust for a while for us too. Then we broke it out and loved it again.

[@TheLobbyOfHobbies]

@@boardgamecloset love when a game can do that!

Still a total keeper. Top 100.

I know it's not for everyone but it is a keeper for us.
