How It Plays

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Deck, Bag, and Pool Building

You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

Solo / Solitaire Game

You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.

About This Game

Summer is coming to an end and it’s time to prepare for a long and cold winter, full of new dangers… The Long Cold takes the apocalypse of After the Virus to a whole new level with new characters, special zombies, and droves of new weapons, traps, and equipment. The new campaign lets players save progress between missions, as well as develop their deck over time. Will you specialize in armor and striking weapons?…
