The Umbra is coming, and the Riverlands are no longer safe. Our family must flee to the City of Winter to find another home.
A roleplaying game about a fantastical family saga and immigrant experience.
Create members of a family and journey together through the strange world. You’ll play family members fleeing across the Riverlands scroll to the City of Winter — a magical metropolis. Elegant rules, evocative prompts, and inspiring images help guide your unique story. Family members will age and die, traditions will be passed from one generation to the next, and you will encounter new traditions that change your family over time. City of Winter captures the refugee and immigrant experience in a fantastical and magical setting.
The game is played across two intricate and beautiful canvas maps: The River Scroll and The City Map. You’ll use the Tradition Cards and narrative prompts to create a rich and immersive story. One-shot or campaign play. No game master. Completely collaborative. A spiritual successor is the beloved Fall of Magic.
Handmade
With its handmade canvas maps, artisan quality paper, and vivid water-based inks, City of Winter is a feast for the senses. The game is made completely by hand in our workshop. The components look like objects pulled directly from the world of the game. We cut, screen print, sew, and hammer every nail.
