Winterhorn
WINTERHORN is a live action game for 3-8 players about how governments degrade and destroy activist groups. By playing law enforcement and intelligence operatives working diligently to demoralize and derail¸ you'll learn about the techniques used in the real world in pursuit of these goals. By playing WINTERHORN you'll have a chance to reflect on weak points in your own activism¸ and think about ways to harden organizations you care about against government intrusion. WINTERHORN: the code name of a small but passionate group of "peace and justice" activists. On the surface they project innocent¸ if misguided¸ zeal¸ but you know better. You've dealt with groups like this before¸ and there's always a dangerous core. Gun-runners. Bomb-makers. People who deserve to be thrown in a dark hole somewhere. As government agents¸ your goal is to nudge them into destroying themselves¸ using every trick in the book ‐ black bag jobs¸ disinformation¸ spinning up rival front groups¸ and even escalating to vandalism and violence when necessary. Your mission¸ with the full force of the government behind you and time running out¸ is to get WINTERHORN's members fighting like rats in a bucket. They need to fall apart before they can hurt anyone¸ and the state's hands need to stay clean. They won't know what hit them. WINTERHORN comes as a 72-card full-color card deck in a tuckbox. The complete instructions and printable handouts are available as a full preview here on Drivethru as well as on the Bully Pulpit Games website. The digital-only edition includes the rules and documents PDF as well as a print-and-play edition of the cards¸ which we recommend spray-mounting to card stock paper for cutting out.
