About the game
What you do in a play session
The game invites you to relive the conflict between light and darkness, spring and winter. You'll choose a side: will you defend the return of the season of flowers or embrace the relentless cold? Using mechanics like open drafting to choose your actions and characters, point-to-point movement on a map reminiscent of winter villages, and plenty of role-playing and storytelling, each session is a unique adventure. You don't just play; you also create the narrative, shaping the destiny of the fairy tales. It's a team-based cooperative experience that shines through its replayability, as the story reinvents itself with every playthrough. If you enjoy games with strong thematic immersion that encourage creativity, Winter Tales might be the right choice for a chilly game night. Come tell your version of this winter tale!
