The Snow Queen is a keepsake game for two players, set in a fantasy world loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of the same name. In a dreamscape where the mirror between worlds cracks just enough to peer through to the other side, two women circle each other amid visions of their own demise. The village girl, in her tightly-knit community of hard-working neighbors, family, friends, and comrades, must keep the wolves of eternal winter at bay. Meanwhile, the snow queen must fulfill her sworn duty as protector and steward of the heart of winter to drive back the fires of moral folly that threaten her realm. Neither party knows who will prevail, nor whether these visions foretell dream or prophecy, until the game ends.
