"When all hope is lost, let the dice of fate roll." Snowblind: Desperation introduces a deck of desperation cards to Snowblind: Race for the Pole. During their turn, a player may choose to play a desperation card. Each card presents a number from 3 to 7 as well as a powerful bonus effect. If the player rolls the number shown or higher using an eight-sided die, they are rewarded with the bonus effect and the game continues. Should they roll below the number shown, their team is eliminated from the game.
