Dead of Winter is the first game in the Crossroads series, designed by Isaac Vega and Jon Gilmour.

Each player leads a faction of survivors with dozens of different characters in the game.
In addition to the ones above, these are games we've played more than a few times that seem to be a hit.
Play as the classic, daring Knight, the chaotic Goblin horde, the colossal, greedy Dragon, the scurrilous Thief, or even the Cave itself — powerful, brooding, and intent on crushing the living things that dare to disturb its gloomy depths.

In King of Tokyo, you play mutant monsters, gigantic robots, and strange aliens—all of whom are destroying Tokyo and whacking each other in order to become the one and only King of Tokyo.
Scythe is an engine-building, asymmetric, competitive board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor.
