Game board – Wintertown
The game board contains a map of Wintertown.
The town is composed by Locations, connected by Streets and Squares.
Below the map there's the Memory Track, where some of the cards you play will act as Memories, and the space for the Epilogue, used in 7-memories games.
The game board gives also hints for storytelling: if you look closely at the location where your character is or at the illustrations of houses and blocks you may find it easier to wave your story!

Character cards - Soldiers vs Fairy Tales
Winter Tales includes fourteen characters, seven Soldiers of Winter and seven Fairy Tale characters, each represented by a card.
Characters are put in front of the players and may be ready (front of the card) or activated (back) and show when the character comes into play during narration and conflicts.

Character icons - Stand your ground!
Each character is represented by a cardboard figurine on a base, white for Soldiers and black for Fairy Tales, which shows the character's position in Wintertown. If a character is incapacitated during the game its figurine is laid down on the board.
