My friends gave me Dead of Winter as a birthday gift last year. Actually, the self-playable expansion.

I have yet to try it. However, I think it has a fatal flaw as a game. See, when you are a traitor and try to screw the group up
during a crisis, you put forward a card. The problem is all the cards have an identifier that determines where they were picked
from. So if you used a car picked from the Police Station, the group will zero you out very quickly because chances are not
many people has been able to source cards from the Police Station during the game (for example).

Any opinion regarding whether this is an issue during normal play?
