I received the box 2 days in advance compared to the estimated time, that was a good surprise. The box was in good shape. The game itself is very enjoyable with 3 friends. (I haven't tried playing with 5 players, but from I read on other reviews, it feels a little long with 5 players) Read more

\\\\\SHORT REVIEW///// Highly recommend it! Great for every type of person, smart or dumb it’s intuitive to learn and play. This standalone expansion has a similar number of components found in the original game however it also includes 3 extra modules that are all unique and exciting to play. This is odd as this is cheaper than the original game even though it surpasses it greatly with variety and substance. Unique and thought-provoking narrative is provided by each game and you can keep replaying this game knowing it will never get stale. Be warned that a decent sized space is needed. I do not recommend this game to people who have NO intention of learning the game as you won’t be able to pick it up easily if you are new to board games. I also don’t recommend this game to people who are going to only play a single game with new board game players, this is because warm up games are needed to get past the learning period and get to the good stuff (proper storytelling, tension, surprising twists etc). The game is so intuitive to learn that my family has mastered it only after a few games (trust me, that’s saying something)!

The modules will be confusing to new board game players so if you are playing with them I would only introduce at most the improvement module to not over confuse them and yourself. If on the other hand, you are playing with board game pros the game handles this by allowing hardcore play for example. This allows for all walks of life to enjoy this game to its full potential. I’m trying to get my family addicted to board games and this is the second game I bought. I found it easier to teach them the game initially by referring to the information card that each player is given. I really recommend referring to this card as frequently as possible to increase the independence of each player and their overall knowledge of the game. \\\\\LONG REVIEW///// I was motivated to write a review as there isn't that much information on “The Long Night” standalone expansion compared to the original (When I posted this there are over a hundred reviews for the original game however only around 5 reviews on this standalone expansion). Something that is not made as blatantly obvious as I would like is that you get near the same number of components sold in the original game, they don’t skimp out on anything. When you buy this game, you are also given 3 extra modules that you can add at your discretion which are each unique and can cater to everyone’s interest and knowledge of how the game works. The artwork is beautiful, the pieces are made of strong card so that it will survive years of abuse, the number of flat figurines is immense. Because of the number of tokens, location pieces, cards etc you will need a decent sized table to fit everything on, especially if you include the modules. The story elements are amazing. When you take a break from the game you will be thinking about how to play the next move, strategists will love this. This game can be played fully cooperatively or a traitor can be added, this adds tension to the entire game and can add a shocking end to your game. Prepare yourself for the possibility of losing loving/strong relationships after backstabbing begins. The replay value is astounding, as someone who is extremely stingy when it comes to money this game is definitely worth every penny, it costs less than most other board games so that's a bonus. This game is a STEAL at

Dead of Winter - the long night ist die in meinen Augen unterhaltsamere standalone Variante von Dead of Winter mit spaßigen Optionalen Komponenten wie Banditen oder der Forschungsstation, wo der Z-Virus ursprünglich das Licht der Welt erblickte. Es ist eine Idee leichter zu gewinnen und hat lustigere Crossroads-Karten, welche diesem Spiel den besonderen, unvorhersehbaren Touch verleihen. Es könnten ein paar Missionen mehr dabei sein, aber weitere Missionen kann man ev. aus dem Internet beziehen oder sich auch selbst leicht ausdenken. In jedem Fall ist viel Spielspaß und auch eine mittlere strategische Herausforderung garantiert. Read more

It was a little confusing to play at first, but you play through it once and you can get the gist of the game. The game offers a lot of variety, from different objectives, to different zombie types, and survivors. Lots of play value if you have a group of friends to play it with. Read more

Exelente juego. Muy buena dinamica. Diferente a su hermano crossroads. Se puede jugar independiente o combinado con el otro. Lo que aumenta el tiempo de juego y varía las dinámicas. Me encanta la temática del juego! Muy serio y adulto. Read more

Tons of fun for both adult and kids. Batteries not included Read more
