Screenshot of document text which reads: "How to play Each session covers one crucial night for your restaurant. You will first play out a day in the life of the restaurant, before service, dealing with various problems and bullshit as best you can. Then, you will tackle service; doors open, you serve clientele, you deal with more bullshit. Each of these two phases has a real world time limit of ONE HOUR, and anything not dealt with when time runs out rolls into the next phase. Every second counts." The phrase "a real world time limit of ONE HOUR" is highlighted in yellow.
Screenshot of a text document which states: Vantage Precepts Oh the joy of one’s labor, the greatest form of endeavor and personage. It is only through work and toil and strain and industry and servitude that a worker learns who they truly are. In order to achieve laborious greatness, the worker cannot only meet the requirements expected of them, nay! They must indebt themselves to the very idea of the work. No task too meticulous, no obligation too large. It is through the incorporated organization the will of the wise is distilled into a future, and that future can only be achieved by those dedicated enough to commit to the journey.

Screen capture of a spreadsheet table, including rows across 6 15-minute periods of a soccer match. There are columns for the totals of "Our Club", the "Opponent", and "Outcome"; "Our Club"'s total is consistently and notably higher than the "Opponent"'s until the final period. After 30 minutes of the match, the score is 0-0 with a comment on the side that says "SERIOUSLY!!". After 60 minutes, the score is 0-1 (in favor of the opponent) with a comment "Are we cursed...?". After 75 minutes the game is tied at 1-1, with a comment "Freaking finally!". Finally, the game ends in a 1-1 tie, with a comment "How did this happen??"
Photo of page 32 of the rules for City of Winter. First heading: Death & Memory. If your character is an Elder (has 6 Marks), roll the Die at the start of each new chapter. If your roll is equal to or less than the crossed-off Marks, your character has died of old age and becomes a Memory. Example text: At the start of the third Chapter, Apple had two crossed-off Marks. Their player rolls a two. This means that in the time between Chapters, Apple has died of old age. Second heading: When You Die. When your character dies, do the following: 1. Remove your token from play. Remove your token and return it to the box. 2. Make a memory bond. Make a final bond using this list: Memory Bonds - X Memory. Grieved,Honored, Remembered, Reviled, Forgotten, Disavowed, or Succeeded by... Third heading: Roleplaying a Memory. For the rest of the Chapter you will play as our family's memory of your character. A character who is a Memory does not participate in the Migration Scene procedure or in another character's Share a Tradition Scene. Otherwise, continue to participate fully in other players' turns, offering suggestions and playing side characters, or roleplaying a tradition on a Witness a Tradition Scene, as normal. On your turn, follow the Memory Scene procedure.
