Bristol 1350 Board Game of Strategy, Deceit, and Luck for 1-9 Players

Product Information

I was an eager-eyed aspiring designer in Columbus, Ohio, and I had the opportunity to meet the family behind Facade Games. Even when the maturing Bristol prototype was still a jumble of cheap paper and plastic, my fellow playtesters and I were having a fantastic time together. Dead of Winter adds personal goals that might appear like betrayal, when in fact the player is a junkie who doesn’t want to share their medicine.

At first, I couldn’t believe that Travis was so consistently comfortable with taking a hammer to the very thing that was going to pay the bills and feed his family. In reality, it's a selfish scramble to get yourself out of town as quickly as possible without the plague, by any means necessary. One additional card is also placed in the mingle pile from the symptom deck, or a card might already be there from someone playing a Leeches remedy card.Usually that the game in question doesn’t properly incentivize the behavior it wants its players to embrace. Even if I did find myself sharing a table with somebody who suffered from such a crippling lack of self-esteem that they needed to pretend to thump everybody at Bristol 1350, then by all means, claim the V. One nice touch that Facade Games brought to Bristol 1350 is multiple ways of extending and changing the game to enhance replayability. A sour scent of sweat and desperation mingled with the sickly-sweet rot of apples underfoot as we eyed one another warily for the tell-tale signs of infection.

I can’t fathom electing to play with a cheater, let alone somebody who would cheat at a low-stakes social deduction game. If you’re like me, then you heard it many a time after saving the Lylat System from the schemes of Andross. Adjusting my cowl, I wrenched tighter my rags to conceal the bubonic swell that was even now pulsing ‘neath the crook of my arm- holding my breath as I mouthed a silent prayer. I am not colorblind, and I am not sure if the colors of the components are colorblind friendly, but if they are not, that is my only critique of the components.Of course, I also knew that fact when my criticisms were progressively erased into oblivion and replaced entirely by complements. The best compliment I can give is that this game of social deduction with a hidden traitor mechanism is incredibly engaging within that entire player range. In many sessions, some infected players shamelessly embrace their symptoms and wear them as a badge of pride through their words and actions. These obvious villains serve as the decoys while their cursed comrades sneak their way into the trusted company of the healthy humans.
