Frozen Death is Numbskull Games' representation of the Winter War which depicts the Finnish struggle against Soviet expansionism in 1939. A block styled, card driven, dice combat system war game that adds fog-of-war elements to the already brutal climatic elements of the hell on earth that was the Winter War. Finnish resolve was exemplified by the term "sisu" roughly translated as "guts" and the "motti" (chopping wood to kindling) tactics of their elite ski battalions "sissi". Altogether this was a very embarrassing episode for the Soviets from which they only were able to negotiate a victory of sorts because of their over overwhelming preponderance in men and especially equipment.
