From BoardGameGeek
City of Winter gives us elegant rules, evocative prompts, and inspiring images to help us create a story as we play to explore characters in a world of our shared imagination. It is infinitely repayable and no two games will ever be the same. Like many Story Games, City of Winter does not need a game master or require any other materials or special preparation to play. Everything you need is in the box! In City of Winter we tell a story that spans generations where the decisions we make as players define how our family changes over time. Over sessions of play our characters will grow old and pass into memory as new generations are born. Play centers around the exploration of tradition. As we journey through the world of City of Winter, we will encounter varied traditions of the City represented by decks of Tradition Cards. As our characters change and grow the traditions they hold as a family change as well. City of Winter takes place in a world of fantasy where things are possible that are not possible in our day to day lives. Use this space to imagine and discover without the restrictions we find in our day to day lives. -description from the publisher
