Plaid Hat Games’s Dead of Winter could be pitched as a “fun” tabletop survival scenario, if you enjoy The Walking Dead and the vote-down segments of Survivor and other reality TV series.
It is impossible to discuss Dead of Winter: The Long Night without discussing the first Dead of Winter (2014). The Andes Crash is the definition of an extreme survival scenario.
With the only qualified doctor dead from the crash, it fell to the medical student to fashion splints out of shrapnel from the aircraft. The survivors were all part of a rugby union, all Roman Catholic, and operated as a team: they salvaged together, they kept warm together, they starved. After two months of starvation, frostbite, and sickness, the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571’s original 45 members had dwindled to 16, who all had to resort to eating the dead to survive. A search was conducted for just over a week, leaving the team stranded. On October 13th, a chartered Fairchild FH-227D crashed on the spine of the Andes between Chile and Argentina.
The Andes Flight Disaster of 1972 is infamous for the part about the cannibalism.
